A 2tph (tons per hour) small rock gold processing plant typically involves several key processes to extract gold from ore. Here’s an overview of what such a setup might look like:
-
Crushing:
- Jaw Crusher: Primary crushing reduces the size of raw rock ore into manageable pieces.
- Hammer Crusher: Secondary crushing ensures the material is further broken down.
-
Grinding:
- Ball Mill or Wet Pan Mill: Grinds crushed material into a fine powder to facilitate gold recovery.
-
Concentrating:
- Gravitational Concentration: Shaking tables, spiral concentrators, or jigs are used to separate the gold particles based on their density.
- Centrifugal Concentrator: Enhances recovery of fine gold particles.
-
Flotation:
- Flotation Cells: Beneficial for complex ores where additional recovery methods may be necessary.
-
Cyanidation:
- Leaching Tanks: Cyanide solution is used to dissolve gold from the ore.
- Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) or Carbon-in-Leach (CIL): Activated carbon is used to extract gold from the leach solution.
-
Filtration and Drying:
- Thickener and Filter Presses: Separate solid waste from the gold solution.
-
Smelting:
- Induction Furnace: Refines the collected gold into pure gold bars or ingots.
Additional Components:
- Water Supply Systems
- Electrical Supply and Controls
- Waste Management Systems
For detailed specifications and customization, consulting with a manufacturer or specialist in mining equipment would ensure that the plant meets specific requirements and adheres to local regulations.
