Electrowinning has proved to be an effective and simple method for recovering gold from the eluate. Electrowinning is done simultaneously with the elution. The barren eluate is recycled to the eluant tank and is recycled for the next elution after the reagents have been made up to their relevant concentrations.
The electrowinning of gold from solutions originating from the cyanidation of cleaner concentrates from froth flotation, was investigated at various experimental conditions in order …

ELUTION AND ELECTROWINNING . ... Optimisation of the 125°C AARL elution circuit at a small high grade gold mine in PNG in 1996 increased the weekly stripping rate from 6 to 21 strips/week. This facility had been badly bottlenecking the rest of the plant as it regularly campaigned up to 30gpt Au and 200gpt Ag. The increased stripping frequency ...
The global gold ore grade has been decreasing, and the mineralogy is now more diverse and complex. This has necessitated the utilization of low-grade ores previously not used. During the cyanidation process of such ores, copper cyanide complexes form that are competitively adsorbed with gold onto activated carbon. Therefore, to decrease the amount of …
It is simple to adopt normal pressure and temperature elution and electrowinning plant to make the gold-loaded carbon regeneration, and get the gold electrolytic deposition.. The equipment includes desorption column, electric heater, heat exchanger, electrowinning cell, desorption liquid storage tank, circulation pump, rectifier control cabinet and so on.
The Elution and Goldroom plant completes the CIL/CIP/CIC circuit, enabling stripping of gold from loaded carbon, electrowinning into gold sludge, and drying and smelting of sludge into doré bars. Carbon can then be reactivated for reuse in the circuit. 's turnkey process plant …

Parameters affecting gold elution using the AARL process are reviewed and critically analyzed in an attempt to optimise metallurgical efficiency and minimise costs in both current and future carbon adsorption operations. Such factors as acid washing, column geometry, elution temperatures and pretreatment reagents are discussed together with eluant water quality and …
A number of metallurgical techniques have been adopted for the recovery of gold from eluate solution in the mining industry, such as electrowinning and zinc cementation techniques.
Keywords — Gold solution; leaching; adsorption; elution; electrowinning. I. INTRODUCTION Papua New Guinea is a gold-producing country, exporting gold since the 1930s and is ranked the 11th largest gold producer in the world over the last few years. The country is ranked 10th in the world in terms of copper production, and also has silver as a
The gold-loaded carbon is then stripped to remove gold into an alkaline cyanide solution via two 20 m3 pressurized vessels at 400 kPa and 140 °C. The produced eluate enters 12 electrowinning cells, where electricity is passed through the cells, causing gold to …
The effect of particle size on gold adsorption and elution from activated carbon has been studied in alkaline solution, in order to understand the nature of gold losses on fine activated carbons, to improve the rate of gold recovery, and to develop an innovative
The gold-loaded activated carbon is subjected to elution followed by either electrowinning or cementation using zinc powder. CIP is preferred for its higher recovery rates and cost-effectiveness compared to CIL, as the separate leaching and adsorption phases in CIP offer better control and optimization. ... while only 7.4% of copper was ...
After elution, the gold in the eluate solution was then recovered by conventional electrowinning . However, thiocyanate is not an economical and environmental eluent, and the electrodes can be corroded during the subsequent gold …

The electrowinning process is a key method for precious metal recovery and can mean big business especially when processing gold plated components. The gold is actually recovered from aurodicyanide solutions produced by the elution of loaded carbon and this is responsible for driving the resulting electrochemical reactions.
The eluate going to either zinc precipitation or electrowinning is also relatively free of troublesome impurities (organic contaminants and ferrocyanides in particular). ... Parameters affecting gold elution using the AARL process are reviewed and critically analyzed in an attempt to optimise metallurgical efficiency and minimise costs in both ...
The final gold product of Tau Lekoa mine has a low fineness. This is caused by high concentration of bases metals in the reefs. Some of these base metals together with gold are leached with cyanide and are loaded into carbon. If not adequately controlled, they may elute with gold and contaminate the final product in the electrowinning process.

Gold adsorbed unto activated carbon is recovered downstream via various stripping techniques paramount among which are the Zadra elution method and the Anglo American Research Laboratory (AARL) method before final gold recovery by electrowinning. These conventional stripping systems require a relatively higher temperature and longer elution hours.
Mainly three methods of elution are used in industry, i.e.: (a) The Zadra process in which warm cyanide solution is circulated through an elution column and electrowinning cell (a U.S. Bureau of Mines invention); (b) The Anglo American Research Laboratory (AARL) method consisting of a pre-treatment step with hot caustic cyanide solution ...
