Abstract

Gold is a very important metal in human life. Most gold is processed using the sodium cyanide (NaCN) leaching method. Maximizing the leaching recovery can be done by optimizing the leaching process parameters, one of which varies the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO). Oxygen is added to oxidize gold atoms (Au) into cations (Au+) which will then react with cyanide ions (CN-) to form the aurocyanid complex anion Au(CN)2- dissolved in cyanide solution. This study aims to investigate the best method between the use of O2, H2O2, and Aachen reactor in generating dissolved oxygen concentration to oxidize valuable metals. From the experimental results, which method can produce higher leaching recovery will be seen. Based on this study, the dissolved oxygen variation derived from oxygen injection (O2) obtained a percent recovery of 92.5% Au and 80.5% Ag, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) achieved a percent recovery of 92.5% Au and 79.9% Ag, and Aachen sheared (Aachen reactor) with a percent recovery of 95% Au and 81.9% Ag.Keywords:Gold, Leaching, Dissolved Oxygen, Percent Recovery, Aachen Reactor

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Indonesia is a country that has abundant natural resources, including non-renewable natural resources such as various types of metals, natural gas, petroleum and others. Besides that, Indonesia also has an important role in supplying the world's gold raw materials. Therefore, it is necessary to develop technology and science in the mining industry, especially gold to increase process optimization and increase the added value of the mining products themselves. One of the gold extraction processes can be carried out hydrometallurgically using the cyanidation method using agitator leach, as was done at PT Indo Muro Kencana. Process optimization is carried out with various test work, such as leaching tests, by varying the operating parameters of the leaching. The variations of parameters used in this study are the cyanide concentrations at 600 ppm, 700 ppm, and 800 ppm. The results of the analysis show that the optimal cyanide concentration for leaching of PT Indo Muro Kencana's gold ore is 600 ppm by controlling the Rate rate control.Keywords:Cyanidation, Gold, Leaching, Extraction.
