Pachuca Tank
Pachuca tanks are used for a wide variety of leaching and mixing operations in the minerals industry. Previously, an equation was derived to predict the circulation in a Pachuca tank with full height draft tube risers. This analysis was subsequently verified with data from a large bore air-water flow loop used. However, the equation was based on the assumption that the solids settling velocity was […]
Process of Cyanide Gold Extraction
Here I present an Process EXAMPLE of Gold Extraction Cyanide in which the cyanidation feed consists of a pyrite concentrate floated after the selective flotation of a copper-gold concentrate. The pyrite concentrate is reground to 90% minus 325 mesh and aerated in a high-lime solution prior to cyanidation. It contains 99% sulphides of which 10 to […]
