MET-BRL-19 Metallurgical Testwork & Leaching

Cyanide Bottle Roll Leach Kinetics & Recovery Testing

Bench-scale cyanidation testwork determining gold and silver leach kinetics, reagent consumptions (NaCN and hydrated lime), and optimum grind size for CIL/CIP and heap leach plant design.

Detection Limits Extraction %: 0.1% to 100.0%
Turnaround (TAT) Standard: 5-7 Working Days (includes 24h to 72h leach cycle)
Sample Requirement 1.0 kg to 5.0 kg crushed ore or pulp per test
Quality Framework ISO/IEC 17025 Compliant

Analytical Overview & Methodology

Our Cyanide Bottle Roll Testing (MET-BRL-19) simulates commercial plant leaching conditions at bench scale, establishing exact gold recovery kinetics and reagent consumption rates for feasibility studies.
