They found that the relatively slow gold leaching rate and the environmentally benign lixiviant made it particularly suitable for in-situ, heap and vat leaching modes. In another study reported by Oraby and Eksteen (2015b), a combination of glycine and H 2 O 2 was also used for the leaching of gold and silver and their alloy (50% Au – 50% Ag).

its first leaching additive that is compatible with the entire Leach à SX EW process. History Heap leaching copper from oxide and secondary sulfide ores has been practiced commercially since the late 1960's. This methodology is mostly used for low-grade ores and involves the following basic processing steps: Mining, Crushing, Leaching,

Thiocyanate (SCN–) is a promising alternative to cyanide as a lixiviant for gold extraction and is 1000 times less toxic than cyanide. In this study, the following leaching parameters were ...
Lixiviant is a liquid medium used to selectively extract a desired metal from a bulk material. It must achieve rapid and complete leaching. The metal is recovered from the pregnant (or loaded) solution after leaching. …
In industrial heap leaching, the lixiviant used is the copper-depleted raffinate returning from SX (Fig. 15.2). ... Basic efficiency in a heap leaching process is evaluated in terms of percent metal dissolution and the time required for such dissolution. Metal dissolution is controlled by the degree of liberation of the desired mineral ...
Therefore, it is essential to establish a fundamental understanding of the leaching behavior of solid electrolytes as the key component of SSBs with different lixiviants.
Promising green leaching technique was used by Humic acid (HA) for removing uranium from Abu Zeneima spent residue for environmental safety and cost-effective leaching. The studied residue is outlet from vat leaching process using sulfuric acid leaching of carbonaceous shale ore material with initial uranium assays 185 ppm, …
In fact, more data on the variations of factors affecting the leaching efficiency are needed to evaluate the kinetics. It has also been accepted that the reactions occurring between the solid particle and lixiviant within the leaching process are mainly heterogeneous and their kinetics follow the shrinking core models (SCMs) [35, 62,63,64]. …
New metal-eating bacteria could help break down and reduce mining waste. The bacteria eat metal objects and discharge a metal-leaching fluid called a lixiviant. Through this process, bacteria can ...
As a result, developing a leaching process with low acid consumption, cost-effectiveness, low environmental impact, and high metal recovery is essential. In this …
Re-plotting of data by Cho (1987) showed that they fit diffusion control throughout the leaching process with average R 2 = 0.985 and yield E a = 12.3 kJ mol −1, ... as is the case in FeCl 3 leaching.
