Heap leaching a stack of gold
Heap leaching is not that popular in South Africa because it is more applicable to shallow opencast mining, and South African gold mines are mostly underground operations. The method is, however, being used on a large scale in the copper mines of South America and, according to Bundo, it will be used more and more on the …

Factors influencing the rate of gold cyanide leaching and adsorption …
In a CIP plant, leaching is complete before the first adsorption tank, and gold is then recovered from the leached pulp in a series of (typically) 4–10 dedicated carbon adsorption tanks. In a CIL plant, the carbon is added directly into the leach tanks, with the claimed advantage of lowering capital costs by eliminating the CIP adsorption tanks.

Carbon-in-pulp processes in South Africa
Hydrometallurgy, 13 : 169-- 192. The carbon-in-pulp (CIP) process is now well established in the South African gold industry, with a total of over 1 million metric tons of material being treated each month in six large plants. This tonnage is derived from ground ore, from filtered pulp, from cal- cine, and from reclaimed sand-tailings dumps.
Cyanide concentration in the leach tank
The Leaching tank#1 free cyanide range is about 75ppm and adds to 75ppm adsorption tank#3 or #4 if required. If the CIL tails is contain less than 50ppm free CN, it would be easily detoxification for WAD CN. Those all for oxidized ore! Bob Mathias. 8 years ago. Bob Mathias 8 years ago.

A review of cyanide destruction processes from laboratory
This operation, situated in North Africa, processes gold through cyanidation post-flotation and ultrafine grinding. The leach plant releases a relatively high residual CN WAD slurry to the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF), and the return water is recirculated back to the plant. This return water still contained a high level of CN WAD (~100 ppm)
