The development of a jet reactor for the leaching of ...
subjected to a jet of cyanide prior to agitation in the holding tank. In both experiments 1 kg/t NaCN, a pH value of 10 and 40% solids were the standard leaching conditions. Flat spray tungsten carbide tipped nozzles were selected to produce the cyanide jet. Optimum operating conditions were determined by varying pressure, nozzle diameter and sprayangle. The relevant increases in recovery ...
