Model for heap leaching of gold ores by cyanidation ...

1997-1-1 · Prosser [3] proposed a gold extraction model for the prediction of the consequences of variable changes on the design and operation of a heap leaching process. One of the main premises of this model is that 99% of the cyanide is consumed by other minerals and, therefore, the process is controlled by the diffusion of the cyanide ion through the ...
