Zinc complexes are more likely to cause trouble in the cyanidation of silver ores because such ores contain much more silver than a gold ore contains gold. Thus, a much larger amount of zinc is required to precipitate the dissolved silver, resulting in cyanide solutions carrying a relatively high percentage of zinc cyanogen complexes and in ...

(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
It has been noted that a small amount of leaching takes place in CIP plants, due to the additional residence time of pulp in an environment appropriate for leaching in the CIP reactors. This additional leaching provides additional economic benefit. The CIL process The carbon-in-leach (CIL) process, illustrated in Figure 3 is a variation of the ...
This paper describes the chlorination roasting-water leaching process for the volatilization separation of gold, zinc and simultaneous vanadium recovery from carbonaceous gold ore. Chlorination roasting was conducted on carbonaceous gold ore. The chlorination residue and volatile precipitates were examined for textural and chemical properties.
Silver and gold are extracted by the cyanide process (Mac Arthur - Forrest process). After the preliminary crushing and concentration by froth floatation process, the ore (crushed auriferous rocks in the case of gold) is leached with dilute (0.4 - 7%) solution of sodium cyanide made alkaline by adding lime kept agitated by a current of air.
To make the long story short : Leach => adjust pH => add zinc => Decant solution => add HCL Now what is happening is that the HCL seems to have only reacted with some zinc, I tried boiling the solution so that the remaining zinc could be attacked by HCL in the process, but this was to no avail and instead the zinc powder ended up being made ...

The cyanidation method is the most widely used method for leaching gold from ore, which is determined by its simple process, low cost and mature technology (Hilson and Monhemius, 2006; Syed, 2006).However, it also has obvious shortcomings, such as cyanide is highly toxic, posing a serious threat to human health and environmental safety, and low …
Unlike gold leaching mechanism in sodium cyanide solution that CN- is the only powerful component that attacks (dissolves) gold and forms soluble Au(CN)− 2 ion, Eco-Goldex solution contains several components, though each individual component may not as strong as CN -, that involve gold dissolving process and form soluble Au complexions.
Typical process of zinc hydrometallurgy consists of zinc concentrate roasting, calcine leaching, electro-winning, ingot casting and acid-making. Zinc leaching is performed in diluted sulfuric acid system or ammonium system. The leaching acidity, temperature and pressure are regulated to achieve the most optimal zinc leaching rate.

The zinc metal is more electropositive in nature and can easily reduce the silver from the complex generating metallic silver during the reaction. ... (CN)_4}] + 2Ag downarrow ] The precipitated silver can be removed by filtration ...
enables leaching under atmospheric conditions. The rate of leaching is also enhanced, due to the increased mineral surface area. Fine grinding also prevents passivation of the leaching mineral by products of the leach reaction. Passivation occurs when leach products, such as iron oxides and elemental sulphur, precipitate on
The cyanide leaching process is the most important method ever developed for extracting gold from its ores. ... The method is based on the fact that gold and silver are electronegative to zinc and that the following reaction occurs in the precipitation process. KAu (CN)2 + 2KCN + Au + H2O = K2Zn (CN)4 + Au + H + KOH ...
The precipitation process for gold, silver, lead, cooper, zinc and iron removal, gave the results shown in Table 10 and Table 11 ... Dai, X. and Jeffrey, M.I. (2006) The Effect of Sulphide Minerals on the Leaching of Gold in Aerated Cyanide Solutions. Hydrometallurgy, 82, 118-125.

Several methods currently exist by which gold may be recovered from a pregnant leach 1 iquor. Two of these methods are discussed in this chapter, the Merri 11 -Crowe (zinc cementation) process and the carbon adsorption process. These two methods represent the most frequently used techniques for gold
Gold carbon in leach(CIL) is a gold extraction process in which the two operations of cyanidation leaching and activated carbon adsorption of gold are partially or completely carried out at the same time. In view of the high cyanidation leaching rate at the initial stage of leaching and the gradual reduction of cyanidation leaching rate, most of the carbon in …

Hint: The leaching process of Gold and silver is also called the Mac-Arthur Forrest cyanide process. The extraction process of these less reactive metals are made to react with cyanide salts and made into water soluble complexes. Then this solution formed is treated with a good suitable reducing agent and then metal is made free from solution.
