Mobile gold leaching plants SKIF
Mobile factories SKIF is the latest achievement in the field of electrochemical metallurgy.
Main advantages :
compactness;
lack of aggressive chemicals and environmental friendliness;
no harmful discharges and emissions into the atmosphere;
the minimum number of control and measuring processes;
easy training of staff;
high productivity and speed at all stages of the process
complete regeneration of iodine-iodide solution;
the determining factor in the cost of the process is electricity;
the possibility of maximum extraction of gold, silver and platinum group metals from ores of double refractory, concentrates, electronics waste, sulfide, telluride, arsenic, antimony ores;
guaranteed maximum recovery of valuable metals using Flexicone technology compared to known technologies; full automation of the process;
low cost of the process due to the complete extraction of precious metals and reagents from the cake without multi-stage washing; reducing the time of all processes.
Iodine-iodide leaching of gold has an undeniable advantage in the extraction of precious metals from ores and concentrates compared to other technologies:
dissolution of both gold and platinum group metals;
high dissolution rate;
The pH of the solution is possible in a wide range from 2 to 9;
visual control of the color of the solution simplifies the process;
carrying out leaching in the alkaline range of pH 7-8 reduces the corrosiveness of the solution and the requirements for the resistance of equipment;
selectivity of dissolution of disseminated gold from the mineral (sulfide) matrix by adjusting the electrochemical parameters;
the advantages of iodine in carrying out regeneration by an electrochemical process;
Due to the use of unique electrochemical processes in the SKIF installations, the main drawback of the iodine-iodide technology is solved - the high cost of iodine. Iodine is completely extracted from the cake. In addition, SKIF units achieve complete extraction of gold and all dissolved elements from the cake, and the absence of multiple washings and filtering of the cake increases the speed and reduces the cost of the process.
A clean cake and no solutions are dumped into the dump.

* For ores with a fine grinding of -76 microns, gold leaching is carried out with a solution density of 4%, so the Electrolyzer / gold extractor of the wash solution and the Nutsch filter of the cathode precipitate wash are not required.
** For sulfide concentrates with finely disseminated gold, the SKIF plant is supplied with an additional electrochemical sulfide stripping system Flexicone Fe3+ OXY.
*** Cost figures may vary depending on the composition of the ore.
