Gold Leaching Agitators Optimization for Increased Yield
Optimizing Gold Leaching Agitators for Increased Yield Designing optimal gold leaching agitators means considering many nuanced and often competing factors. Dynamix provides innovative engineered solutions that improve yield by controlling solids suspension, gas dispersion, and carbon attrition. The NMX line of agitators and Dynaflow™ impellers offer practical solutions for both carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-leach (CIL) gold leaching circuits. Technical Challenges for Gold Leaching Agitators By far the most common leaching process, gold cyanidation produces a complex ion of gold and cyanide, called aurocyanide. Activated carbon then adsorbs the aurocyanide from the ore slurry, with CIP circuits having adsorption in a separate train, while CIL employs countercurrent adsorption in the main leaching tanks. The production of aurocyanide requires gold, cyanide, oxygen,
