Abstract
In this article, experiments were carried out on samples taken from two different gold mines located in İzmir Province, Dikili District Çukuralan Locality and Eskişehir Province Sivrihisar District Kaymaz Site. Jin Chan, a new chemical approach with sodium cyanide (NaCN), comparatively evaluated leaching kinetics, gold recovery efficiencies and chemical consumption in the course of leaching. In the study using hydrometallurgical methods; the leaching studies with Çukuralan ore, the optimum parameters were observed at a 40% solid/liquid ratio and 300 mg/l Jin Chan concentration, and gold was recovered with a yield of 90.89%. Hereby, Jin Chan consumption was 0.72 kg/t. In NaCN, on the other hand, the optimum parameters were achieved at a solid/liquid ratio of 40% and a concentration of 300 mg/l NaCN, and gold was obtained with a yield of 91.98%. NaCN consumption was 0.31 kg/t. In the leaching studies with Kaymaz ore, the optimum parameters were reached at 40% solid/liquid ratio and 300 mg/l Jin Chan concentration, and gold was recovered with an 81.55% yield. Jin Chan chemical consumption is seen at 1.27 kg/t. In NaCN, on the other hand, the optimum parameters were achieved at a solid/liquid ratio of 40% and a concentration of 300 mg/l NaCN, and gold recovery was achieved with a yield of 82.86%. NaCN consumption is calculated at 0.95 kg/t.
