There have been only a few changes in the chemical procedure and also few changes in the type of equipment used. ‘The gold and silver are dissolved by the chemical solution, usually with varying amounts of oxygen or air added to complete the chemical reaction. The Honiieri noe & FLOWSHEETS FOR CYANIDATION AND FLOTATION 427 amount of ait or oxygen required for a particular ore varies and depends not only upon the size of the particles of the mineral to be dissolved, but also upon the chemical composition of the ore. In most in- stances the value of the ore and the size of the min- eral particles are the deciding factors. In the past the usual practice to secure complete dissolution of the gold and silver values was to re- duce al! of the ore to a very finely divided state, practically all through 200 mesh. Recently, however, through the introduction of novel concentrating de- vices, such as the Denver Mineral Jig and the Den- ver Unit Flotation Cell, it becomes possible to take out a very large percentage of the values by recov- ering the valuable metallic minerals (as well as most of the sulphide minerals), which are treated separ- ately, and their removal often eliminates the neces- sity of fine grinding the remaining relatively barren coarse particles of the ore. This also results im ma- terially reducing the time and equipment requi for the dissolution of the remaining gold and values, if their recovery warrants the treatment, and a material saving in equipment cost for this purpose can thereby be effected. ‘The basic principle of adding certain chemicals to counteract unfavorable chemical constituents in the ore ig still necessary on each particular ore and, therefore, complete test work is essential to deter: mine the mesh of grind; the time required for agi- tation; the settling ratio of the ore and the amounts of chemicals required, together with the correct flowsheet. The basic method of treatment used for many years in eyaniding gold and silver ores is still fun- damentally sound. ‘The four lowsheets shown here are distinct, and show the advancements made in eyanide equipment and methods, described below: FLOWSHEET NO. CY-1 shows the continuous counter-current decantation system, in which all the ore is first reduced to a very fine siate in the grind- ing mill-classifier circuit, in'a cyanide solution. The slime overflow of the classifier, usually 70%—200 mesh, or finer, is sent to the first thickener, known as the primary thickener, Here the pregnant solution, containing a large part of the dissolved gold and silver values, overflows 428 from the top of the thickener and is sent to a clari- fier, then to the precipitating system where the gold and silver values are precipitated, the precipitate periodically being reduced to bullion in a furnace, ‘The underflow pulp of the primary thickener, containing the remaining values and usually at a pulp ratic of 1:1, is elevated by a diaphragm pump into a series of agitators. The agitators are used to aid in the dissolution of the remaining values, aug- mented by the introduction of air. The time of treat ment required depends upon the values still remain- ing in the slimes or fine sands in the mill pulps. From the agitators, the pulp at a density of ap- proximately 1:1 overflows directly into the frst of a series of secondary thickeners. ‘This feed pulp is diluted with the overflow solution from the second of the secondary thickeners, which solution has been enriched by the removal of values from the second and third secondary thickeners. After the solution is intimately mixed with the pulp it enters the thick- ener feed well, rises to the top of the thickener, is overflowed and is pumped to either the mill solu- tion tank or introduced into the precipitation sys- tem. ‘The thickened pulp from the first of the secon- dary thickeners settles to the bottom, is raked to the center discharge, and is then pumped to the second secondary thickener where it is mixed with the overflow solution from the third of the secon- dary thickeners. Thus the pulp flows in one direc- tion with gradually decreasing values, while the solution is pumped in the opposite direction with gradually increasing values, from a barren wash water to a sufficiently enriched solution suitable for precipitation or mill solution storage. In this way the pulp is gradually lowered in value and the solution is gradually increased. The solution from the first of the series of secondary thickeners is either partly precipitated or sent to the mill solu- tion tank to be used in the head of the mill circuit. This counter-current decantation system, as shown on Flowsheet No. CY-1 is ideal for a large number of ores, This flowsheet is the ultimate in simplicity, 429 FLOWSHEET No. CY-3] FLOWSHEET No. CY-4| FLOWSHEET No. CY-1] FLOWSHEET Ne. CY.2] FLOWSHEET NO. CY-2 is practically the same as Flowsheet No. CY-1, only in place of the last two secondary, eners a rotary filter is used, On some ores two or more thickeners are used between the agitators and the filter. There is no question about the lower soluble loss when using a file but the cost of the filter operation, amounting ta from 8c to 10c per ton, is an important item as com pared to the low cost of operating thickeners. There fore, the question as to whether a filter or a thick. ener is to be used at the tail end of the cyanide mill is a matter of economics, depending upon the hous ing facilities, initial investment in the plant, and operating cost. A tailing filter is necessary where water for milling is scarce, or where pollution of streams is prohibited. IN FLOWSHEET NO. CY-3 is shown one of the outstanding improvements made in eyanidation whereby the coarse metallic minerals are removed from the grinding circuit by means of the Denver Mineral Jig. The hutch product from this jig is amalgamated with a Denver Amalgamator or Clean. Up Pan and thus the coarse mineral values, such a metallic gold, are removed from the circuit before complete fine grinding takes place. This jig hutch Product containing most of the fine as well as the coarse metallies, can also be treated by a separate grinding and cyanide treatment plant. ‘This Denver Jig, due to its synchronized valve action, requires the minimum amount of water. Its feed and dis. charge elevations are sloped as a launder, so that pumps or elevators are not required. By the early removal of the coarse gold and other minerals, it is possible to materially reduce the chemical consumption in the cyanide plant and also the time required for agitation, as well as offering the possibility of grinding at a coarser mesh. In other words, the removal of a certain portion of the min- erals at a coarse mesh, and their separaie treatment, either by amalgamation or by a small cyanide plant, eliminates the necessity of fine grinding the entire tonnage to recover the values from this small portion of the ore that often contains the majority of values, The balance of the circuit is then similar to that shown on Flowsheet No. CY-I. with the advantages, however, of lower chemical consumption and a 432 Jower agitating time, with less equipment needed for final thickening and filtering. ‘This is due to the high ficiency of the Denver Mineral Jig in removing not only the coarse values that are free and that would require additional time and equipment, but also in removing most of the middling values that would require finer grinding of the entire ore with the resulting higher equipment and operating costs. FLOWSHEET NO. CY-4 is similar to Flowsheet No. CY-3, excepting that a Denver Unit Flotation Cell is used between the ball mill and the classifier to remove cyanicides or harmful elements from the yanide circuit, thus preventing an excessive chem- imal consumption, ‘This concentrate produced on the Unit Flotation Cell can be sent fo a smelter or treated separately from the balance of the cyanide circuit. ‘This method of treatment has been proved distinctly advantageous and should have an impor- tant application on ores where copper and other eyanicides are piesent. Flotation chemicals or re- agents used in the Denver Unit Flotation Cell do not affect the subsequent treatment by cyanidation. In many instances this Denver Unit Flotation Cell, due to the additional aeration secured, plays an im- portant part in the chemical reaction between the cyanide and the gold and silver values. In the eyaniding of silver ores it is essential to have ample ir and therefore the air that is introduced in the Denver Unit Flotation Cell and in the Denver Super- Agitators, is very important. These flowsheets are widely used for the treat- ment of average ore by the cyanide process and indicate the improvements which can be made. MODERN CYANIDE EQUIPMENT ‘The Denver Mineral Jig, placed between the ball mill and classifier, is one of the most Leer] im- rovements in cyanidation in recent years and was Yeveloped by the engineering and research staff of the Denver Equipment Company. 433 Chis Mineral Jig has the marked advantage of re- moving a large portion of the metallic values with- out excessive dilution, and water or solution is added to the discharge of the This jig handles the gri ing mill discharge before it enters the classifier for final separation of the coarse material to be re- ground and the fine material for subsequent treat- ment by cyanidation, No elevators or pumps are needed in this jig circuit ‘The hutch produet secured from the Denver Min- eral Jig can be treated in a Denver Amalgamator, or by other similar practical means. Another important unit in these modern flow sheets is the Denver Unit Flotation Cell, This re moves the eyanicides and other coarse floatable mineral and is an efficient unit in the grinding cir- cuit due to the use of rubber wearing parts ond the distinet gravity flow principle of the Unit Cell ‘The discharge from the Unit Cell is higher than the feed inlet, thus making it possible to place the Unit Cell in the ball mill-classifier circuit without an elevator or pump. Still another important unit in these cyanide cir- cuits is the Denver “Spiral Rake” Thickener with the beam type. lowhead su- perstructure. With this type of thickener one re < quires only a minimum <4 building height because | very small distanee above b= a the beam superstructure 0" Bre Sere! take y for its operation. This lower head room permits # more economical building and less fuel is, required for heating the mill. ‘The Denver “Spiral Rake,” which moves the set- tled material from the bottom of the thickener to 434 the center, in one revolution, is an important im- provement . . . avoiding overload conditions and also giving greater capacity in the thickener with a clearer overflow product, due to less disturbance The use of steel gears and ball bearings on the thickener mechanism also tends to lower the oper- ating and maintenance expense. Flotation and Cyanidation versus All Cyanidation A thorough study of this subject is contained in an interesting article by J. P. Dick entitled “Mining and Metallurgy at Moneta Porcupine” in the March i941 issue of the Canadian Mining and Metallurgi- cal Bulletin. The following comparison is. given: MILL OPERATING COSTS PER TON OF MILL FEED Straight Flot Operation Cyaniding Cyaaiding $0.36 0200 ola 0.826 “ 0237 Solutions er 0.302 Agitating and thickening, one ort Filtering 158 0.109 Clarification precipitation 0161 oo7s Refining oot 0.033 Tailing disposal 0.036 0.057 Experimental 104 9.925 General mill expense oat 0.066, Proportion of general charges 0.063 0.060 Total Cost pert sii36 s1.687 Average tons of ore per day 1525 180.7 Recovery 4% 140% Increase in cost of crushing and grinding is due to finer ball mill feed and regrinding flotation con- centrate before eyaniding to 649—I0 microns To supplement these figures it should be con- sidered that where metallurgically possible, lower cost per ton will be produced from a combination circuit, However this should not be aceepted blindly, as the author believes that below 100 tons a day straight cyanide circuit will be cheaper to operate. A further point to consider is that frequently the ore at the surface of a property is comparatively easy to treat, and a straight cyanide circuit is natur- ally installed, usually with a mineral jig in the grinding circuit to remove free gold. As further development is done in depth the character of the 435 ore frequently changes to include primary gold- bearing sulfides. Sufficient tonnage has also been blocked out to warrant mill expansion. Then the logical action is to install flotation cells to remove the sulfides, which are reground and eyanided in the original cyanide mill Only a new grinding cir- cuit, in addition to the flotation machine, is needed to increase the mill capacity. ‘The ultimate increase will depend on the ratio of concentration obtainable by flotation with a flotation tailing that can be economically discarded. ‘This ratio and consequent inerease may range from 2:1 up to 35:1 Even if the flotation tailing cannot he economi- cally disearded, as such, these are cortain additional considerations. For example: one concentrator with a very Iow record of cost feeds the flotation tailing to a hydroclassifier. The slime overflow is discarded. ‘The sand fraction is given an agitation of about four hours, resulting itt small agitators, and on account of the fast settling characteristies of the sand. thickeners with a capacity of about 0.3 sq. ft per ton are successfully operated. Accordingly a very small, compact, cyanide mill was installed Batch Cyanidation ‘The batch process of cyanidation is usually ap- plied in two different types of mills: 1. Where the amount of material to be treated is quite small At sonie properties the type of material being handled is quite erratic and so to obtain the maxi: mum extraction the baten method is used. "The ra terial is agitated, with perhaps several_ solution changes. until final assay of residue is satisfactory, Then the material is discharged from the tanks. Denver super agitators with float decantation de- views and bottam discharges are ideal for this type of work, 2. Where the material to be treated is quite erré- tie in nature. Cyanidation—Sand Leaching In practice, efficient classification is aosolutely essential for the successful operation of a leaching Jant, Even a small percentage of slimes will se- ously reduce or even destroy the porosity of the sand bed. Size of particle in the feed is of little con- cern as long as granular 436 Accordingly the discharge from the grinding eir- cuit is classified, the overflow being either treated separately in a slime cireuit ar disearded, according to its value. The sand is pumped to one of a series of large diameter shallow tanks with porous false bottoms. The sand is evenly distributed in the tank by means of a mechanical distributor, Cyanide solu- tions may be introduced from the bottom and al- lowed to percolate upwards, or fed from the top and allowed to seep downwards. Usually the strong- est cyanide solution, with the required dissolved lime, is added first, followed by weaker solutions and then one of mare water washes. Between each percolation the sands should be allowed to dram so that air will reach the gold particles being dissolved, After the percolation has been completed, the sand is usually discharged through doors in the bottom of the tank onto a conveyor belt that re- moves it to the tailing pile. Some operators prefer final washing in a series of washing classifiers after cyanidation in the tanks has been completed. The number of percolation tanks required de- pends on the tonnage capacity of each tank, the daily tonnage, and the total time required for a eycle of operations. Leaching and washing may re- quire from two to ten days depending on the ore. Small Gold Plants “There is often a tendency to overlook or mini- mize the importance of the small mine, The small mine of today may develop into the large mine of to- morrow. Under proper management and financing it has as good a chance of yielding a profit as the larger Property. Unfortunately large capital is seldom in- terested in them and they are left to the smal groups who are not in a position to obtain the best engineering service. Mills are often erected with- ‘out proper metallurgical tests and expensive cya- nide plants are installed at a time when such large 437 expenditures of capital on the surface is not justi- fied by the underground developments. Careful metallurgical testing on the ore might have dis- closed the fact that a simple method of amalgama- tion or concentration could have been employed and the mill built for a third the cost of a cyanide plant. By taking advantage of the fact that gold is one of the heaviest metals known and readily forms an malgam with mercury, an effective but simple and expensive plant can be built for most small gold mines, Usually the major percentage of the gold values are in the “native” or metallic state and are free at commercial fineness of grinding and can be recovered by some combination of amalgamation and concentration. Plate amalgamation, where the gold values are caught and held in the quicksilver fim on a copper plate is the only step required for a commercial recovery on some tew ores. {n most cases a portion of the gold is filmed so that i¢ does not amalgamate readily or is contained in ores with other minerals that also amalgamate or “foul” the quicksilver suffi- ciently to destroy its effectiveness for gold recovery. Here a form of selective concentration such as the Denver Mineral Jigs and blanket tables, is used to concentrate the gold values in a small bulk of high grade concentrates for treatment in an amalgama- tion barrel or other amalgamator, where the gold is amalgamated and recovered as bullion. The advantages of these simple plants are many and are not only attractive to the proved small mine but'also to those under development. Within recent years many of our well known mines have been de- veloped and brought into large scale production Trom revenue secured from a’small milling plant operating on development ore A study of a large number of mills using amalga- mation and concentration has disclosed bullion re- ‘Batracied from Memorandum Series No, 47, by C. S. Parsons, East eer, Ore Lretsing and Metallurgical Division, Mines Branch, Department GF Mince, Otsawas Published by permission of the Dicector, Mines Branch 438 coveries ranging from {0 per cent to 90 per cent and total recoveries, including concentrates, from 85 per cent to 97 per cent. The average bullion recove: will be about 70 per cent and very often this is of utmost importance as geographic location makes the shipping of the concentrate to a smelting plant unde- sirable, While cyanidation is usually favored for treating gold ores to yet maximum recovery of the values in bullion form, nevertheless, the fact that an amalga- mation plant can be built for approximately one- third of a complete cyanide mill, together with the lower operating costs of the simpler plant, partially offsets the lower recovery. It is customary to im- pound the tailings from the amalgamation plant and these are cheaply treated when mine developments have justified the erection of the more complete cyanide plant. An amalgamation and concentration plant can be operating intermittently without sacri- ficing efficiency, and this allows the operation of the plant for only one or two shifts per day to keep the peak power requirements at a minimum as mine compressors can be operated or the hoisting done while the mill is not in operation. The fact that 60 to 80 per cent of the values can be recovered by amalgamation will usually supply sufficient revenue from the mill to pay for development charges and build a reserve for the construction of the complete cyanide plant With reasonable care in the design and construc- tion of the original amalgamation and concentration plant all of the equipment can be utilized in the later complete cyanide mill. By using standard equip. ment it is possible to add the cyanide equipment following the already installed amalgamation and concentration units as these are an essential part of the completed plant. Other advantages of these simple and inexpensive amalgamation and concentration plants are that they can be successfully operated with unskilled labor as no chemical knowledge or previous experience is necessary.
