DEVELOPMENT OF ION-EXCHANGE TECHNOLOGY FOR PRECIOUS METALS RECOVERY AND EXPERIENCE OF ITS COMMERCIAL APPLICATION AT GOLD MINES

摘要

The article highlights stages and peculiarities of technological processes development for precious metals recovery by ion-exchange resins from ores and concentration products of various deposits located in Russia and CIS countries. It reviews a long-term Irgiredmet' experience and results of introduction of various alternatives of "resin-in-pulp" process and new technological equipment. It discusses possible ways of anionites application for gold recovery from technological solutions resulting from ore heap leaching and from liquid phase of tailing dams at gold recovery plants.
