Definition of the plant capacity. The main objective of the SART process is to reduce the copper concentration in a cyanidation plant by causing a bleed of copper in the whole process. The latter can be achieved by treating a part or the total flow that contains the metal-cyanide contents, as shown in Fig. 5, Fig. 6.Web
This adversely increases the operational cost of the cyanidation plant . 4.2.3 Low Gold Recovery The presence of copper minerals in gold ores often has the tendency of decreasing the gold recovery during cyanidation due to copper dissolution and formation of copper cyanide complexes which creates a deficiency of free cyanide in the …Web
The Gedabek process plant, which began operation in May 2009, uses conventional cyanide heap leaching, combined with gold extraction by resin ion exchange and SART technology for copper control. ... which increases the cyanide consumption, into a by-product from the gold cyanidation plant.

However, direct cyanidation of refractory ores, low-grade ores, and certain complex ore types suffer from low gold recoveries (< 80%), high cyanide consumption, or both. In addition, the toxicity of cyanide and related strict environmental legislation control the use of cyanide and operations in the gold plant (Fleming 1992). These factors ...Web
