such as air or oxygen are added after thickening. Leaching takes place in a series of agitated leach reactors or pachucas. Before leaching the pH of the pulp is normally adjusted to a value of around 9.5–11 to ensure minimum loss of cyanide as hydrogen cyanide. The leaching of gold can be conveniently represented by the Elsener equation: [1]

These parameters are important determinants of project revenue and costs and, thereby, ... is due to the nature of typical gold ore leaching kinetics. A typical leach curve is characterized by an initial fast reaction followed by a long slow leaching tail. The leaching tail de-
— The consumption of cyanide during processing operations is a major economic cost in the extraction of gold from its ores, while the discharge of cyanide wastes may result in significant environmental pollution. Many factors influence the levels of consumption and discharge of cyanide, including ore mineralogy and lixiviant solution …
— Thiosulfate leaching is a promising alternative to cyanidation, and the main hindrances for its wide commercial application are the high thiosulfate consumption and the difficult recovery of dissolved gold.
