Tank Bioleaching | SpringerLink
The Biox process was developed by Gold Fields, a South African company to treat pulverized refractory gold-bearing sulfide concentrates in an agitating tank with mesophilic bacteria. In this type of ore, gold is encased in sulfide minerals. The gold recovery rate by the traditional cyanide leaching technology is only about 15%.

Carbon-in-pulp processes in South Africa
Hydrometallurgy, 13 : 169-- 192. The carbon-in-pulp (CIP) process is now well established in the South African gold industry, with a total of over 1 million metric tons of material being treated each month in six large plants. This tonnage is derived from ground ore, from filtered pulp, from cal- cine, and from reclaimed sand-tailings dumps.

Factors influencing the rate of gold cyanide leaching and adsorption …
In a CIP plant, leaching is complete before the first adsorption tank, and gold is then recovered from the leached pulp in a series of (typically) 4–10 dedicated carbon adsorption tanks. In a CIL plant, the carbon is added directly into the leach tanks, with the claimed advantage of lowering capital costs by eliminating the CIP adsorption tanks.

A review of cyanide destruction processes from laboratory
This operation, situated in North Africa, processes gold through cyanidation post-flotation and ultrafine grinding. The leach plant releases a relatively high residual CN WAD slurry to the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF), and the return water is recirculated back to the plant. This return water still contained a high level of CN WAD (~100 ppm)

Leaching takes place in a series of agitated leach reactors or pachucas. Before leaching the pH of the pulp is normally adjusted to a value of around 9.5–11 to ensure minimum loss of cyanide as hydrogen cyanide. The leaching of gold can be conveniently represented by the Elsener equation: [1] Although air agitated leach tanks were commonly ...
