Mobile Integrated Gold CIL Plant

The mobile integrated gold CIL plant combines the deployment flexibility of a compact, modular, containerized, and portable design. With a processing capacity of 20 TPD, low operating costs, and a recovery rate of 95%+, it stands as a highly efficient and flexible small-scale gold extraction solution.

Applications: Recovery of lode/rock gold, placer gold, gold-bearing tailings, and associated gold polymetallic ores. Covering diverse needs such as small and medium-sized primary mining, scattered mining sites, mineral rights exploration and verification projects, tailings recovery, mineral rights verification, and development of remote mining areas.

What is Mobile Integrated Gold CIL Plant?

The mobile integrated gold CIL plant is primarily designed for a processing capacity of 20 tons per day, also called a small modular gold CIL plant. It is a small-sized gold beneficiation system that combines the Carbon-In-Leach gold extraction process with a relocatable & compact design. Its core process adopts the carbon leaching method, which combines leaching and adsorption simultaneously, to achieve high-efficiency and low-cost gold recovery. Especially suitable for small gold mines, pilot gold plants, remote mining areas, and mobile gold mining projects. In addition, the complete gold CIL process, which includes crushing, grinding, desorption electrolysis, and tailings treatment, can be integrated into standardized containers or skid-mounted modules to enable rapid on-site production.

Core Equipment:

The multi-stage agitation leaching tanks, mixing tank, slurry pumps, carbon & slurry separation screen, automatic control systems, and cone thickener are pre-assembled; upon arrival at the mine site, production can commence simply by connecting the necessary pipelines.

Applicable Project Types:

Small to medium-sized rock gold development projects: A 20TPD gold CIL plant can achieve an optimal balance between production capacity and efficiency, and the small-scale investment pressure helps to quickly recoup costs.
Distributed mining sites: The mobile gold CIL plant feature allows equipment to be moved between different mining sites, avoiding the waste of equipment when a single mining site is depleted.
Mineral rights exploration and verification projects: Rapidly verify ore recoverability, reducing the risk of long-term equipment investment.
Remote or under-infrastructure gold mining areas: Relocatable structures reduce the need for fixed infrastructure construction, support diesel drive, and are particularly suitable for remote or grid-less mining areas in Africa, Southeast Asia, and other regions.
Tailings resource recycling project: compact equipment integrates existing mining areas and can be deployed directly and quickly next to tailings ponds to improve resource utilization.
Polymetallic mineral projects with associated gold and silver: This modular CIL equipment can be embedded into the existing mineral processing process as a supporting gold extraction unit to simultaneously recover associated precious metals and improve the overall profitability of the project.

20TPD Modular Gold CIL Process Plant

Solution: crushing and screening, grinding and classification, concentration and slurry preparation, leaching and adsorption unit, analytical electrolysis, tailings treatment

Main equipment: hammer crusher, lime mixing tank, ball mill, spiral classifier, chemical mixing tank, leaching and adsorption tank, pump, plate-and-frame filter press, cone thickener, belt conveyor, and melting furnace.

Main Flow Of 20TPD Modular Gold CIL Process Plant:

1. Crushing and Grinding:
The raw ore is reduced to a suitable particle size (typically ≤200 mesh) using a jaw crusher and a ball mill, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the subsequent leaching process.

2. Slurry Preparation:
The ore slurry is fed into a thickener to achieve a concentration of 40%–45%. Reagents are added to adjust the pH level to 10–11, and the thickened underflow is then directed to the leaching stage.

3. Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) Adsorption:
The slurry enters a series of agitated leaching tanks, where a sodium cyanide solution dissolves the gold ions; simultaneously, activated carbon adsorbs the gold, forming gold-loaded carbon.
The number of leaching tanks can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate varying processing capacity requirements.

4. Desorption and Electrowinning:
The gold-loaded carbon undergoes desorption under conditions of high temperature and high pressure. Through electrolytic deposition, high-purity gold slime (with a purity exceeding 99%) is recovered; after smelting, this yields the final gold product.

5. Tailings Management:
The gold-depleted carbon is regenerated and returned to the adsorption stage for recycling. The tailings undergo pressure filtration and are then stored in compliance with regulations, while wastewater is recycled at a rate exceeding 90%, ensuring full adherence to environmental protection standards.

Why Choose JXSC Mobile Integrated Gold CIL Plant

Advantages Of Modular Gold CIL Plant

✔️ Low investment cost: This small integrated CIL plant does not require high civil engineering costs and can be put into production in 7-15 days, increasing the speed of capital recovery by 2 times.
✔️ Rapid deployment: The pre-installed and modular unit design enables “ready to use,” and the relocatable feature supports cyclic use at multiple mining sites, reducing the on-site installation cycle by 70%.
✔️ Excellent gold extraction efficiency: JXSC gold CIL technology can achieve a recovery rate of 90%-95%, and the high-temperature desorption system can extract gold quickly.
Environmental compliance: The enclosed design reduces the risk of dust and cyanide leakage and meets international green mineral processing standards.
