Autoclave Circuit & Gold
Sulfide sulfur oxidation through the autoclave is typically of the order of 90—92%. Residual S exiting the autoclave is targeted at less than 0.2%. Values greater than 0.25% S" typically result in poorer gold recoveries in the C1L circuit. Free-acid levels in the autoclave discharge are a function of S2 and CO2- in the autoclave feed, but ...

Comminution circuits for gold ore processing
Publisher Summary. For the vast majority of ounces of gold produced, comminution costs in the form of power, grinding media, and liners represent the single largest cost category of milling. Since, semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) ball-mill circuits represent the single largest type of gold milling comminution circuits, the chapter …
Comminution circuits for gold ore processing
Rather than design the SAG circuit with an arbitrary fraction of total circuit power, it is more useful to base the required SAG mill size on the product of the unit …

For design purposes, you need an estimation or prediction of your SAG Mill's tonnage; well, there are 3 ways to generate good rock "ore" hardness testing data for SAG and ball mill circuit grindability from half drill core. We can abbreviate the discussion by saying there are three "faiths" of grinding, and there are small-scale tests …
Autogenous Grinding & Semi Autogenous Grinding Circuits …
Semiautogenous-single stage. These circuits are not a good choice for many orebodies because it is not logical to expect one machine to be as efficient on 150 mm ore as it is on 100 micron ore.
