A 25 tons per hour (tph) gold Carbon-In-Leach (CIL) plant refers to a processing facility designed to extract gold from ore at a rate of 25 tons of ore per hour. Here’s a brief overview to understand its components and processes:
-
Crushing and Milling:
- The ore is crushed to reduce its size and then ground in a mill to liberate gold particles from the surrounding material.
-
Cyanidation:
- Ground ore is mixed with water to form a slurry.
- Cyanide solution is added to the slurry, which dissolves the gold.
-
Carbon-In-Leach Process:
- Activated carbon is added to the cyanide slurry. The gold-cyanide complex adsorbs onto the carbon particles.
-
Gold Recovery:
- The loaded carbon is separated from the slurry and the gold is stripped from the carbon using a hot caustic solution.
- Gold is then recovered from the solution through electro-winning or precipitation.
-
Refining:
- The recovered gold is further refined to produce high-purity bullion.
Advantages of CIL plants include higher recovery rates and efficiency in processing complex ores. This setup is ideal for miners looking to optimize gold yield from their ore.
