The desorption electrolysis system is a set of gold beneficiation equipment that obtains gold mud from gold-loaded carbon by desorption and electrowinning under high temperature and high pressure conditions. This method is used to extract solid gold from gold-loaded carbon in cyanide smelting.

#2. Working Principle

The desorption electrolysis system consists of a desorption column and an electrowinning cell. In the desorption system, anions that are easily adsorbed by activated carbon are added 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.

Zinc powder replacement device is a system that uses zinc powder to extract gold from precious liquid, mainly for gold ore containing more silver. After purification and deoxidation of precious liquid, zinc powder replacement device is added to obtain gold mud. Gold mining equipment.

#2. Working Principle

The zinc powder replacement process is divided into three steps: purification of noble liquid, deoxidation and replacement filtration. 1. Principle of precious liquid purification: Gold-containing precious liquid often contains some suspended solids, which must be removed before replacement, so as not to affect the replacement effect and the quality of gold mud. Purification of precious liquid is the process of removing suspended solids. 2. Principle of deoxygenation: The dissolved oxygen in the precious liquid has a hindering effect on the replacement of gold by zinc, and the oxygen in the precious liquid must be removed to ensure the smooth progress of gold replacement by zinc. 3. Replacement filtration principle: including two operations of zinc powder addition and replacement, when zinc powder is fed into the precious liquid, the replacement reaction starts, and the replacement equipment completes the final replacement and gold mud filtration.

The air lifter is a gold ore beneficiation equipment that uses compressed air as a transmission medium to transport the pulp.

#2. Working Principle

Air lifts are used to lift high density materials such as working media and concentrated ore concentrates in heavy media enrichment plants.

The principle of the air lifter: high-pressure air is charged into the air lifter through the central charging tube, the density of the pulp tube becomes smaller after entering the air, and the pressure difference between the tube and the pulp in the tank is generated. Under the action of pressure, the pulp in the tank passes through the air The lifter lifts to a height. Generally, in ore dressing and cyanidation production, most of them have surplus air source, and air lift is used to transport ore pulp, which can reduce the power consumption of production, and the air lifter has fewer wearing parts and is convenient to process.
