VALVES FOR GOLD LEACHING IN CIL, CIP OR CIC CIRCUITS
In a CIL leaching circuit, a cyanide solution and oxygen are added to the slurry in large steel leach tanks. The gold dissolves from the ore into the solution. The activated carbon is fed into the process from the opposite direction, against the slurry stream. As it moves through the CIL tanks, dissolved gold adsorbs onto the activated carbon.
