Background
An Australian client, Mr. Tim wants to build one gold tailings processing plant, its capacity is 100 ton per day to process tailings. The grade of tailing is 1.5 g per gram, the mine has basic power infrastructure and stable water source, the local environmental protection policy allows cyanide to be used in compliance, but the environmental protection requirements are strict.
Solutions
The equipment includes a jaw crusher (PE-400×600) for coarse crushing of tailings; A closed-loop grinding system consisting of a ball mill (MQG1500×3000, equipped with a 45kW motor) and a spiral classifier is used to grind materials to -200 mesh, accounting for over 90%; High efficiency thickener (NT-12, diameter 12m) is used for slurry concentration to 40-45% concentration; A 4-6 level CIP adsorption tank (XJB-30, single tank capacity 30m ³, equipped with variable frequency stirring) is used to form a countercurrent adsorption system. The activated carbon concentration is maintained at 10-15g/L, the sodium cyanide concentration is 0.02-0.04%, the pH value is 10-11, and the adsorption time is 24 hours; After being separated by a safety screen, the gold loaded carbon enters the desorption electrolysis system (desorption column with a diameter of 800 × 4500mm, working pressure of 0.5MPa, temperature of 135 ℃), and the electrolytic cell (stainless steel cathode) produces gold sludge; The tailings are dehydrated by a box type filter press (XAZ50/800, filtration area 50 ㎡) to a moisture content of ≤ 18% before being discharged dry; Supporting sewage treatment system to achieve wastewater recycling; The automated control system monitors the CN ⁻ concentration (0-50ppm), pH value (9-11), and carbon gold loading (2-4kg/t) in real-time.

Feedback
Mr. Tim's feedback on 100TPD gold tailings CIP production line: the beneficiation line efficiently recovered 73% of residual gold in tailings, with reasonable process, stable operation and low investment, and the tail water circulation system met the requirements of environmental protection.
