Soft Sensor Modeling and Adaptive Model Correction Strategy for Gold

During the gold cyanidation leaching process (GCLP), due to the change of raw material properties and longterm use of equipment, production characteristics will undergo change in working conditions or slow time-varying, which will lead to degradation in model prediction accuracy and track performance. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a type …

Cyanide Use in Gold Mining

A sodium cyanide solution is commonly used to leach gold from ore. There are two types of leaching: Heap leaching: In the open, cyanide solution is sprayed over huge heaps of crushed ore spread atop giant collection pads. The cyanide dissolves the gold from the ore into the solution as it trickles through the heap.

A Comprehensive Guide to the Gold Leaching Process

Gold leaching involves the dissolution of gold particles into a liquid medium, typically a cyanide or alternative lixiviant solution. The process aims to extract gold from low-grade ores or refractory ores that are not easily processed through conventional methods such as gravity separation or direct smelting.
