Gold Processing Technology - Research in Gold Processing
The AMIRA P420 project is a collaborative industry funded project undertaking research in the general area of gold ore processing. This project has operated since 1994 covering a range of topics during the period including; cyanidation, carbon management, gravity recovery, modelling/simulation, flash flotation, thiosulfate process development, sustainable cyanide management, benchmarking, characterisation of preg-robbing ores, processing copper-gold ores and treatment of arsenopyritic concentrates.
The project is based at Murdoch University (Perth, Western Australia) and currently includes collaborators from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town, South Africa and Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia.
The current three year term (P420C) commenced in 2005 and is organised into four modules:
- Process Optimisation
- Thiosulfate Process Development
- Sustainable Cyanide Management
- Complex & Refractory Ores
This web site provides sponsors with confidential access to the outcomes of present and past projects, including reports and modelling/simulation packages. There is also a database of reference material on gold processing.
