The IDEAL MAKINA O2 gas generator is often used in gold mining and is an excellent oxygen solution in the gold extraction process.
Furthermore, copper or nickel smelters consume large quantities of oxygen.
BENEFITS OF USING OXYGEN APPLICATION IN LEACHING PROCESS
Increased Gold Recovery
Higher dissolved oxygen level in leaching process enhances the gold cyanidation thus increase gold extraction rate significantly up to 98%.
Decreased retention time by leaching
Conventional leaching time of 96/72 hrs can be reduced up to 50%.
Increased Ore throughput
Increased Silver Recovery
Silver is being dissolved in the leaching process in the same process reaction as gold.
Decreased Cyanide Costs
The Cyanidation kinetic depends on the gold, cyanide, water and oxygen in the leaching tanks. The sufficient level of oxygen reducees the amount of cyanide required.
Decreased Waste Treatment Costs
The reduction in the amount of cyanide in the leaching process also decreases the amount of cyanide that must eventually be removed from the waste stream. The oxygen generated can be used as a fee gas to an ozone generator and injected directly into the waste stream as an environmentally friendly oxidizing agent.
Our PSA oxygen generation system will be specially prepared for the harsh ambient and operating conditions at the mine site. Due to the location the conventional supply of oxygen by means of truck transported liquid oxygen and local cryogenic storage tanks would not be possible so that the required oxygen has to be produced on-site through an air separation process. That’s why IDEAL MAKINA Oxygen Generator Systems are the best solution for Gold and Silver Mines.
