Gold Cyanidation Process
The ball mill, in closed circuit with a classifier, is fed with ore, cyanide, lime, and carbon as charcoal. The classifier overflow is thickened and then agitated. The gold is dissolved by the cyanide solution and then its soluble gold-cyanide compound is absorbed by the finely divided charcoal. Flotation then recovers the charcoal.
