1. Th?i gian r?a tr?i so v?i Th?i gian h?p ph?

  • CIP: Requires sufficient leaching time (typically 6–12 hours) to ensure complete gold dissolution from the ore, before entering the adsorption stage (adsorption time 4–8 hours). Total pulp retention time is longer.
  • CIL: Leaching ±¹¨¤ adsorption occur simultaneously. Once dissolved, gold is adsorbed by carbon, avoiding hydrolysis or consumption of gold-cyanide complexes by impurities. Total pulp retention time is shorter (typically 8–16 hours, 20%–30% less than CIP).

Gold CIP vs. CIL Process

2. N?ng ?? than ho?t t¨ªnh ±¹¨¤ d¨°ng ch?y th¨¢c

  • CIP: The adsorption section employs a multi-stage counter-current adsorption system (3–6 stages). Activated carbon concentration is lower (10–15 g/L), relying on stage-by-stage adsorption to increase gold recovery.
  • CIL: Activated carbon concentration within the leach-adsorption tanks is higher (15–25 g/L). A counter-current cascade system is also used, with carbon moving cyclically between tanks, resulting in higher adsorption efficiency.

3. Ti¨ºu th? Cyanide

  • CIP: During the leaching stage, absence of carbon allows cyanide to be easily consumed by sulfides, copper, iron, ±¹¨¤ other impurities in the ore. Reagent consumption is higher (typically 0.2–0.5 kg/t ore).
  • CIL: Activated carbon preferentially adsorbs gold-cyanide complexes, reducing the reaction of free cyanide with impurities. Cyanide consumption is 10%–30% lower, making it more suitable for ores with higher impurity content.

  • Quy tr¨¬nh CIL: The simultaneous leaching-adsorption requires stricter control of pulp viscosity ±¹¨¤ solid content (ideally 40%–50% solids), as excessive mud can reduce carbon activity ±¹¨¤ adsorption efficiency. However, it is more adaptable to ores with complex mineralogy, as the rapid adsorption of gold minimizes interference from impurities.
