Our Technologies to Treat Cyanide/SART. Gold recovery can become uneconomical when cyanide-soluble base metals such as copper and zinc are present in gold ore deposits. These metals form weak acid dissociable (WAD) complexes with the cyanide and preferentially competes for cyanide. The result is high cyanide consumption, poor gold …
It has been said that gold was one of the first metals to be mined. As deposits with free, coarse gold were depleted and the volume of mining increased, process flowsheet design became more and more complicated. Gravity was the first method developed to recover gold from ore. But, currently there are very few deposits left that contain ores ...
