Cyanidation is the main process for gold and silver recovery from its ores. In this study, a process is proposed to recover copper and cyanide from barren solutions from the MerrillCrowe cementation process with zinc dust. This technology is based on inducing nucleated precipitation of copper and silver in a serpentine reactor, using sodium sulfide as the precipitator, and sulfuric acid for ...

· the MerrilCrowe process. The average gold and silver content in pregnant solution was and 283 ppm respectively and the recoveries were 92% for gold and 95% for silver, with optimum operating parameters of pH 10, residence time of 20 minutes and addition of sodium chloride 4 of gr/L.
(MerrillCrowe), the copper precipitation could occur, increasing zinc consumption. 4. Contamination of dore metal: The copper contained in the PLS will promote copper contents in the elution solution (carbon adsorption processes) or MerrillCrowe precipitate (MerrillCrowe processes) which could contaminate the dore metal, affecting its ...
Abstract A comprehensive study of zinc solubility was carried out in deaerated alkaline cyanide solutions. Parameters investigated were: dissolved oxygen, cyanide and lead nitrate concentrations and pH. Zinc solubility increases significantly with increased dissolved oxygen and cyanide concentrations. EhpH diagrams have been developed and used to predict regions of stability of zinc ...
("CIP") and MerrillCrowe recovery processes in processing the test material. The one metric ton per day pilot plant initially had been operated for 21 days simulating CIP plant operations. After some reconfiguration in the circuit, it was operated for three days simulating actual CIL plant conditions.

The existing crushing operation will be utilized to prepare feed for the milling circuit. The existing MerrillCrowe circuit was refurbished to accommodate ore with higher silver concentrations from Amancaya and the zinc precipitate that is produced in the MerrillCrowe circuit will be processed in the existing refinery.
Started in 2011. Compañía Minera Coimolache (% BVN) is an affiliate and manage by Buenaventura that produces gold in an open pit operation. The mine which was discovered by Buenaventura, is loed in the Districts of Hualgayoc and Chugur, in the Province of Hualgayoc, Region of Cajamarca. It commenced operations in 2011.
Copper Removal after the MerrillCrowe Process . The presence of cyanidesoluble copper affects gold and silver recovery from the cyanide solutions. In the MerrillCrowe process, the copper is precipitated along with gold and silver, resulting in a higher consumption of zinc dust, fluxes in the smelting of the precipitate and
Nchanga in Zambia uses 26, 80m2 horizontal vacuum belt filters for copper recovery, while Mumi has two 122m2 units for contaminant removal. Andritz filter presses are in use in various gold and base metals operations in Russia and Kazakhstan, and also for water clarifiion in underground dewatering plants in a number of gold and platinum mines in South Africa.
