Estimating Gold Extraction and Cyanide Consumption for High Cyanide-Consuming Gold Ore

Gustavo Plenge, along with his co-authors, published an influential study titled “Estimating Process Design: Gold Extraction, Leach Residence Time, and Cyanide Consumption for High Cyanide-Consuming Gold Ore” in September 2015. This research addresses the challenges of extracting gold from high cyanide-consuming ores by providing a method to optimize extraction efficiency while reducing cyanide use.

The study outlines a process design framework that enables mining operations to estimate key factors such as gold recovery rates, leach residence times, and cyanide consumption. This research contributes to more cost-effective and environmentally friendly gold extraction methods.
