Summary<\/h4>\n

The design, fabrication and commissioning, of an ASFLOC\u00ae \u201cFlocculant Preparation Plant\u201d, were successfully carried out for a dynamic leaching operation with a Counter-Current Decantation (CCD) circuit, including the supply of ASFLOC\u00ae flocculant.MR.<\/small><\/sup><\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Background<\/h4>\n
\n
\n

A new plant with a Merrill\u2013Crowe process for gold recovery in northern Mexico requires, from its design stage, an automatic flocculant preparation, dilution and dosing, system that is precise and efficient, in order to ensure proper solid\u2013liquid separation in the Counter-Current Decantation (CCD) process and achieve greater recovery of high-quality pregnant leach solution.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the plant requested the selection of the most suitable flocculant for the process operating conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
