Several gold localities are scattered in the Arabian Shield of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia which has about 20 million tons of recoverable gold ores. In working gold mines, ores are treated using the hazardous cyanidation process through the CIL or heap leaching. Although several Saudi gold mines are in operation since 1980s, very
In the liquid phase oxidation leaching process of chromite salt, a new dynamic-static combined stirred mode is proposed. That is, a static cylindrical baffle is fixedly installed at a certain radius from the stirred blade to control the vicinity of the blade. The CFD numerical simulation method is mainly used to investigate the effect of dynamic …

The leaching of Cr for chromite tailings can be explained by two main processes. The first main process for Cr leaching is associated with the presence of phosphate anions in solution, which can exchange with chromate and bi-chromate anions, promoting the presence of Cr (VI) [ 46] in solution.
The impurities left undissolved are removed by filtration. Leaching method is used for concentrating ores of aluminium, silver, gold etc. For example, bauxite (AI 2 O 3 .2H 2 O), is concentrated by this method. Crude bauxite contains ferric, oxide, titanium oxide and silica. These impurities are removed by making use of the amphoteric nature of ...
