The engineers and metallurgists that built many of those initial plants used a similar recipe for the flowsheet design and they worked well but there was room for improvement The improvement is not necessarily an increase in gold recovery as much as an efficient increase in the volume of ore processed along with a significant reduction in
tract gold In a modern gold processing plant the recovery can be up to 98% with the aid of the latest concentration and smelting techniques A successful gold recovery strategy re lies on a fundamental understanding of the ore mineralogy and its chemical/physical behaviors under various leach flotation and oxidation conditions An overview
Gold recovery is often poor due to locking in unoxidized sulfides sulfur coating or the presence of coarse gold sometimes formed by over milling of concentrate to improve reactivity Silver losses to jarosite are routinely encountered A potential flowsheet for copper gold ores may comprise an initial base metal recovery step

A recent development in the gold recovery flowsheet is the use of thiosulphate as lixiviant as alternative to cyanide Some ore bodies are considered double refractory where the gold is occluded by sulfide minerals and the ore contains native carbon that acts as a preg robber In such cases thiosulphate provides the only viable option
Normally these solutions contain very little solids content 15 100 ppm however even this small amount of solids is sufficient to inhibit efficient gold and silver recovery The first stage of pregnant solution treatment is the removal of these solids using a vacuum precoat clarifier which reduces the solids content to approximately 5 ppm

The flowsheet of the process is shown in Fig 1 The main contributions are described as follows 1 A complete process of gold recovery from sulfide refractory gold ore was proposed and the gold was effectively recovered; 2 Pyrite was first used to enhance the chlorination roasting; 3 Thermodynamic analysis and laboratory experiments

The new flowsheet would be configured such that the CIL would treat flotation tailings and oxidised residue from the Albion Process The design recovery of gold from the Albion residue was 92% but the plant frequently achieves over 95% recovery with an overall plant wide design recovery of 86% but commonly achieving 88%

Fosterville Continuous Rig for HiTeCC flowsheet development HiTeCC installation at Fosterville The pilot plant trial confirmed that the HiTeCC treatment of the CIL plant residue was the best method for increasing the overall gold recovery from the ore with a recovery increase of over 10% The pilot plant trialling was also extended to
FLOWSHEET DEVELOPMENT FOR GOLD OREBODIES OVERVIEW There are several basic metallurgical flowsheets used to treat gold orebodies with a great many permutations The optimum flowsheet from an economic perspective is always that which achieves the greatest gold recovery at the lowest cost Normally these two are mutually exclusive and some
The process flowsheet generally consists of conditioning and sizing of the feed material followed by one or two stages of recovery Gold recovery is typically 70% as compared with 90% in an
Many opportunities exist throughout the world for small cyanide plants possibly using a Gold Leaching Process both for production and pilot operations especially in areas not easily accessible and where labor and local costs are on a level for profitable not fully amenable to treatment by amalgamation or flotation processes for the recovery of gold
