The goal of leaching is to 'push the reaction to the right' ie; consume the reactants to produce the gold complex in solution. Therefore to leach the gold out of the ore and into solution, cyanide, and oxygen must be added to the slurry. Lime is added to the grinding circuit to modify the pH of the slurry to

The role pH has in affecting gold leaching rates by cyanide and the functions of calcium hydroxide in cyanidation are as follow:. 1. For safety and to prevent loss of cyanide by hydrolysis. 2. To prevent loss of cyanide by the action of carbon dioxide in the air. 3. To decompose bicarbonates in mill water before using it in cyanidation.

To avoid hydrolysis of cyanide [Eq.(26.2)], leaching must be carried out under alkaline conditions: (26.2) CN – + H 2 O → HCN + OH – However, in saline water, such as in many cyanidation plants in Western Australia, gold leaching is performed at a pH below 10 to reduce the high cost of lime under these buffering conditions.

A relatively low yield during precious metal recovery by heap leaching (50 to 80 %) is associated with a number of reasons, including the difficulty of selecting the optimal process parameters due to the wide range of gold grain sizes: ultra-dispersed (nano-range) — from 10 –9 to 10 –7 m, fine-dispersed (meso-range) — from 10 –6 to 10 …
