VAT guide: Vat Leaching

Vat leaching is a gold processing method in which prepared ore is loaded into vats and a leaching solution is passed through it; the gold-bearing solution is then collected and the gold is adsorbed onto activated carbon. This guide walks through the main stages in simple terms and shows where each VISION COMMERCE product works.

Stages of the flow

1. 1

   Ore preparation

   The ore is prepared before it is loaded into the vats.

2. 2

   Vat loading

   The prepared ore is loaded into the leaching vats.

3. 3

   LEACHING KING solution

   LEACHING KING solution is passed through the ore in the vat to dissolve the gold.

4. 4

   Collecting the gold-bearing solution

   The solution leaving the vat, carrying dissolved gold, is collected.

5. 5

   Adsorption on LEACHING KING ACTIVATED CARBON

   The collected solution flows over activated carbon, which adsorbs the dissolved gold.

6. 6

   Loaded carbon separation

   The gold-loaded carbon is separated from the solution.

7. 7

   Gold recovery

   Gold is recovered from the loaded carbon to obtain the final product.
