Advances in the Cyanidation of Gold

In the case of cyanidation plants processing gold ores with metallic sulfides, oxygen is not only used to optimize plant throughput but also to enhance gold extraction. Because the dissolution of sulfide minerals consumes oxygen ( (26.8), (26.10), (26.11) ), it is important to avoid a reduction in the gold-leaching rate associated with …
