Title Air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) technology for cyanide recovery
Date 2005
Description An air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) mobile system was evaluated for continuous stripping and recovery of cyanide (the AVR process) from process water at a gold plant site. The ASH unit performed exceptionally well as an absorber. HCN was absorbed from the gas phase in a single pass with an efficiency exceeding 99%. HCN concentration in the discharged gas phase was lower than lOppm, which provided for a safe working environment. The stripping efficiency, controlled by the Henry's Law constant, exceeded 40% in one pass.
