LX30 Reagent Application
Pregnant solution from the heap-leach circuit is treated in a reagent mixing tank with LX30 before entering the carbon adsorption circuit.
Pregnant solution from the heap-leach circuit is treated in a reagent mixing tank with LX30 before entering the carbon adsorption circuit.
Heap leaching begins with crushing and stacking ore for irrigation. Pregnant and barren solutions circulate in separate ponds. LX30 is added in the reagent mixing tank before the solution enters the carbon adsorption system. Loaded carbon proceeds to elution and electrowinning, while stripped carbon returns to the adsorption column.
Key Benefits
- A conventional crush, stack and irrigate heap-leach front end
- Add LX30 in the reagent mixing tank
- Closed-loop circulation between pregnant and barren solution ponds
- Elution and electrowinning of loaded carbon before refining
