Heap leaching is a method to extract metals from ores that is used in the extraction of gold, silver and copper. The processed ore is piled on waterproof pads. Leaching solutions are applied on the surface of the heap ore by sprinkler or drip irrigation, leaching the metals contained in the ore.
After the leaching of the metals from the metallurgical wastes with acids or micro-organisms, the metals are distributed in the leach solution, simply referred to as leachate. Recovery of pure metals from the leachates is extremely important as it is the final and critical stage.

Gold occurs in ores in many different forms and the scheme of treatment has to be worked out accordingly. Fine, free and clean gold presents no problem provided that the cyanide solution contains no detrimental impurities. Coarse gold is usually removed ahead of cyanidation by gold traps, blankets or other standard methods and is treated ...
The recovery of gold from different sources, such as ores and concentrates, commonly is carried out in industry using cyanidation because it has the a…
Basic information on e-waste and its classification of gold content is provided.
