Gold Ore CIL Production Line

Gold CIL process (carbon in leach) is an efficient method of extracting and recovering gold from its ore. By cyaniding and carbon leaching crushed gold ore slurry simultaneously, the CIL process lowers the gold mining operation cost and increases the gold recovery rate to 99%, which is the first choice of modern gold mining and gold beneficiation plants.

 

CIL mainly applies to the process of above 1g/t grade gold ore and gold ore with large bearing ore volume: silver, platinum, copper, etc. And CIL has a better performance in extracting these minerals at the same time.

1. Crushing and screening stage:

 

• The gold ore is first crushed by a crusher, usually after two or more stages of crushing, to reduce the ore size to about 10 mm or even smaller.

 

• The crushed ore is screened by a vibrating screen to obtain crushed materials of qualified particle size for subsequent processes.

2. Grinding and grading stage:

 

• The crushed ore enters a ball mill for grinding to further refine its particle size to meet the leaching requirements (usually 85~95% of the ore is required to pass a 200 mesh sieve).

 

• The ground ore slurry is graded by a spiral classifier or a cyclone to remove oversized or undersized particles.

3. Concentration stage:

 

• The graded slurry enters a concentration tank for concentration to increase the slurry concentration for subsequent leaching operations.

 

• During the concentration process, a certain amount of flocculant is usually added to enhance the thickening effect.

4. Leaching and adsorption stage:

 

• The concentrated slurry enters a leaching tank and is mixed with a sodium cyanide (or other leaching agent) solution for gold leaching.

• During the leaching process, gold is dissolved from the ore to form a gold-cyanide complex.
 

• At the same time, activated carbon is added to the leaching tank, and the activated carbon adsorbs the gold in the slurry to become gold-loaded carbon.

• After the adsorption is completed, the activated carbon and the slurry are separated by a carbon extraction screen to obtain gold-loaded carbon and tailings slurry.

5. Desorption and electrodeposition stage of gold-loaded carbon:

 

• The gold-loaded carbon enters the desorption electrolysis system, desorbs under high temperature and high-pressure conditions, and desorbs gold from the activated carbon.

 

• The gold-containing solution obtained by desorption enters the electrolytic tank, and the gold ions are reduced to gold metal through the electrolytic process, and deposited as a gold layer on the electrode.

6. Smelting and refining stage:

 

• The gold layer obtained by electrolysis is stripped from the electrode and smelted after washing, drying, and other treatments.

 

• The gold ingots obtained by smelting are further refined to improve the purity and quality of gold.

7. Tailings slurry treatment stage:

 

• The tailings slurry is separated into solid and liquid by a filter press, and the filter cake, i.e. tailings, is transported out by a belt conveyor and stored.

 

• The filtrate enters the circulating water pool for reuse to reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution.

8. Activated carbon regeneration stage:

 

• The desorbed lean carbon (gold-free carbon) can be regenerated by high temperature and chemical treatment to restore its adsorption capacity so that it can be reused in the adsorption process.

The advantages of the CIL (Carbon In Leach) production line are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
 
1. High efficiency:
 
Gold leaching and adsorption are carried out simultaneously, which simplifies the traditional process and improves production efficiency.
 
The coconut shell-activated carbon specially made by Baichy Machinery has the characteristics of small holes, high activity, wear resistance, and regeneration. Its adsorption rate increases by 30%, thereby improving the gold recovery rate.
 
Compared with the traditional process, the CIL process greatly reduces the number of leaching tanks, shortens the cyanidation operation time, reduces the capital backlog of gold in the retention link, and realizes rapid gold withdrawal and rapid capital recovery.
 
2. Economic efficiency:
 
The CIL process reduces management costs while reducing losses, saving 66% of investment costs compared with the traditional CCD process.
 
Due to the small number of operators, less equipment use, and short process, the personnel cost and equipment maintenance costs are relatively low.
 
3. Adaptability:
 
The CIL process has a wide adaptability. Whether it is sulfide ore, oxide ore, or mixed ore, this process can be used for treatment.
 
This process is suitable for large-scale continuous production of gold mines and can meet the production needs of gold mining enterprises of different sizes.
 
4. Environmental protection:
 
Although the environmental protection of the CIL process is not directly mentioned in the article, due to its high gold recovery rate, it reduces the waste and loss of gold, thereby indirectly reducing the pollution to the environment.
 
5. High degree of automation:
 
The CIL process has a high degree of automation, which reduces the impact of human operation on the production process and improves production stability and product quality.
 
6. Equipment advantages:
 
The central aeration lifter of Baichy Machinery can quickly transport the slurry, make the slurry circulate in a small amount, reduce power consumption, and ensure the uniform suspension of solid materials and the small wear of activated carbon, thereby improving the recovery rate of gold.
 
Baichy Machinery's integrated high-efficiency and low-consumption rapid desorption electrolysis system adopts a high-temperature and high-pressure desorption method (150℃, 0.5Mpa), which can parse out most of the gold in a short time. The concentration of gold-silver cyanide complex ions in the precious liquid is high, while the impurity ions are less and high-purity solid gold can be obtained safely and economically.
