TECHNOLOGICAL TESTS

Column test

The column test makes it possible to assess the recoverability of metals, reagent consumption, and ore leaching behavior under conditions close to production.

Get a consultation

Industrial model

The method creates conditions that are as close as possible to the leaching process in production.

Samples from 50 kg

Large ore samples loaded into laboratory columns are used for testing.

Solution control

The productive solution is selected and analyzed daily for key technological indicators.

Evaluation of extraction

The results allow us to clarify the degree of metal recovery and the need for reagents.

About the method

The column test is a technological test of ores for leaching by seepage. The method allows you to create laboratory conditions that are as close as possible to the industrial process, and to obtain data for assessing the recoverability of metals and the need for reagents.

For preliminary tests, samples weighing from 50 kg are used. The ore mixture with a known mass is loaded into the leaching column, after which a low-intensity leaching solution is fed from above. The solution seeps through the ore mass and is collected in a separate container.

Each portion of the production solution is monitored by volume and analyzed for precious metal content, pH level, and cyanide concentration. Such measurements allow you to track the dynamics of the process and evaluate the change in leaching indicators over time.

The procedure continues until the metal content in the production solution stabilizes at low concentrations or further leaching ceases to make practical sense. After the tests are completed, the ore is washed, extracted from the column, dried and sent for analysis of the residual content of precious metals.

If necessary, the material is further dispersed into fractions to determine the distribution of the desired elements. The final recovery rate is calculated based on data on the starting material, accumulated productive solutions, and spent ore.

What tasks are used for

  • Ore leachability assessment
  • Industrial process modeling
  • Control of pH and cyanide concentration
  • Assessment of the degree of metal recovery
  • Calculation of reagent consumption

TECHNOLOGICAL TESTS

Bottle agitation

Laboratory tests of ore leachability by dynamic cyanidation to assess the recoverability of precious metals and reagent consumption.

Get a consultation

Assessment of recoverability

The tests provide primary information on the extraction of precious metals from ore.

Reagent consumption

The need for reagents, including lime and sodium cyanide for the working solution, is determined.

Time control

Sampling of the productive solution is performed at specified intervals: 2, 6, 8, 24 hours or more.

Evaluation of fractions

A fineness analysis of the residue helps determine which fractions are better at releasing metals.

About the method

Bottle agitation is a technological test of the ability of ores to be leached by dynamic cyanidation. The method is used to obtain primary information on the recoverability of precious metals, reagent consumption, and ore suitability for further technological solutions.

During the tests, lime is added to the pulp to adjust the pH, after which sodium cyanide is added until the required concentration of the working solution is reached. The prepared pulp is mixed in vessels fixed in laboratory agitators. Rotation is interrupted only for sampling the productive solution and monitoring recovery rates.

Sampling can be performed 2, 6, 8, 24 hours after the start of testing, and if necessary - at longer intervals. This approach allows us to evaluate the dynamics of leaching and determine how the recovery of precious metals changes over time.

After leaching is completed, the pulp is filtered to separate the liquid and solid phases. The solid residue is washed and sent for analysis to determine the residual content of precious metals. If necessary, the residue is divided into fractions by size, which makes it possible to evaluate the distribution of metals and the release efficiency for different material classes.

What tasks are used for

  • Evaluation of ore leachability
  • Determination of the recovery rate of precious metals
  • Calculation of reagent consumption during cyanidation
  • Comparison of different types of ores and size fractions
  • Preliminary assessment of ore suitability for heap leaching

The method is used when standard assay analysis is not sufficient to accurately determine small concentrations.

Gold and Silver

Determination of precious metals after dissolution of the gold-silver crown.

About the method

The assay method with atomic absorption termination is used to increase the sensitivity and accuracy of the analysis when determining low gold and silver contents.

The method combines assay melting with subsequent spectral determination of precious metals. After assay melting, the resulting gold-silver kinglet is dissolved in aqua regia, and then the resulting solution is analyzed by an instrumental method.

As a final step, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) or inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) can be used. Modern devices allow you to determine small amounts of a substance in solutions.

The assay-atomic absorption method makes it possible to determine the gold content from 0.05 g/t. As a result, the method is widely used in modern analytical laboratories when working with materials with low concentrations of precious metals.

What tasks are used for

  • Determination of low gold content in mineral materials
  • Analysis of samples with gold content below 2-4 g / t
  • Updating the results of assay analysis
  • Research of poor ores, tailings and processed products

Accurate measurements

Weighing of kinglets is performed on special high-precision assay scales.

About the method

Assay analysis is one of the main methods for determining the gold and silver content in solid materials: ores, placers, concentrates, processing tailings, matte and compact metal.

The method involves a combination of pyro-and hydrometallurgical operations that allow the quantitative isolation and concentration of precious metals. Due to this, assay analysis provides good reproducibility of results and is used for both rich and poor in gold content materials.

The key stage of assay analysis is melting. During the melting process, precious metals are concentrated in the metal alloy, after which further separation and weighing operations are performed. Special high-precision assay scales are used to determine the gold and silver content.

This method is especially important when analyzing samples for gold, as it allows you to work with fairly large samples of material — 50 g or more. This increases the representativeness of the analysis, especially when studying materials with an uneven distribution of the defined element.

What tasks are used for

  • Determination of gold and silver in ores
  • Analysis of placers, concentrates and tailings of processing
  • Control of the content of precious metals in metallurgical products
  • Research of poor and complex materials
