01 Introduction

Back

The  is mostly used for the treatment of gold-loaded carbon in the carbon pulp plant of gold mines, which can remove gold from the gold-loaded carbon and precipitate into high-grade gold mud matching system.

02 Features

Back

The desorption electrolytic carbon gold extraction system is an automatic control, high temperature, high pressure, cyanide-free desorption electrolytic carbon gold extraction equipment system with the characteristics of high efficiency, low consumption and fast speed. The system has a high degree of automation, complete safety facilities, excellent technical indicators, simple and convenient operation, and stable and reliable operation.

#1 Efficient

After the desorption and electrolysis is completed, the grade of lean carbon is mostly stable at a low level, and the desorption efficiency is high. When the grade of gold-loaded carbon is 3000g/t, the desorption rate can reach more than 96%;

The grade of lean carbon can be reduced by 3-4 times compared with the conventional desorption electrolysis device, which is beneficial to stabilize the discharge grade of carbon adsorption operation and improve the adsorption rate. Rate;

#2 Fast

The temperature of desorption and electrolysis can be as high as 150℃, and the working pressure of the system is as high as 0.5Mpa, which is 0.2-0.5MPa higher than that of the conventional system, so the desorption and electrolysis time is very fast, and all the desorption and electrolysis work can be completed within 12-14 hours, which is shorter than the working time of the conventional system nearly 3 times;

#3 Low consumption

The temperature of desorption and electrolysis is the same, no heat exchange is required, and the total power consumption is 1/2-1/4 of the conventional system due to the fast operation;

#4 Cyanide Free

There is no need to add sodium cyanide in the desorption solution, the cost is low, and there is no pollution.

The system can provide cathode materials according to user requirements; the grade of gold mud is also higher than that of conventional systems; no reverse electrolysis is required; it is easy to extract gold mud; it saves smelting costs;

#5 Automatic Control

Liquid level buffer mechanism - due to the liquid vaporization and system pressure changes during operation, the liquid volume of the system will fluctuate. For this reason, the system is specially equipped with a liquid level buffer mechanism, which can automatically offset the changes in the liquid level and always maintain The system operates normally;

Temperature control system - when the temperature reaches the set value, the system will automatically disconnect some electric heaters, and the remaining electric heaters will automatically maintain the working temperature of the system. In this way, the system temperature has been stabilized at the set value.

#6 Triple Safety Measures

In order to ensure the security of the system, three security measures are taken:

First, the system itself is intelligent. When the circulating pump is not running, the liquid in the system will not flow. In order to prevent the local high-temperature vaporization booster heater from automatically turning off. When the pressure rises at a certain position due to blockage, the electric heater also automatically stops working. After the circulating pump resumes operation or the pressure decreases, the electric heater will automatically start working;

The second is to have a special pressure release mechanism. When the system pressure rises to a certain value, the mechanism automatically opens the pressure relief and adjusts the pressure to a normal value;

The third is the safety valve, which only works if the above two measures fail together.

03 Structure

Back

The desorption electrolysis system is mainly composed of desorption part, electrolysis part, instrument control part, pipeline valve, etc. Each part penetrates each other to form a complete system

04 Working Principles

Back

The desorption electrolysis system is to add anions that are easily adsorbed by activated carbon in the desorption system, so as to replace Au(CN)2- to realize the desorption of gold. The precious liquid obtained by desorption of gold-loaded carbon is recovered by ionization method to obtain solid gold. Xinhai's high-efficiency, low-consumption and fast desorption electrolysis device is mainly composed of two parts: desorption and electrolysis. The processes of desorption and electrolysis are separated, so that the solvent is carried out in a comprehensive desorption tower, and the electrolysis of precious liquid is completed in a separate electrolytic cell. The four processes of desorption, precious liquid heating, solvent condensation and solvent recovery are centralized in the comprehensive desorption tower, and the precious liquid obtained after desorbing the gold-loaded carbon with the solvent vapor is introduced into an independently set electrolyzer through a pipeline for electrolysis to obtain crude gold. , and then purified to obtain finished gold.
