Studies on the Merrill-Crowe process as applied to silver recovery have shown that one half of the used zinc powder is wasted in water reduction at high cyanide concentrations, while the other half reduces silver ions from the cyanide solution. However, the cementation mechanisms as an electrochemic …
Merrill-Crowe zinc prec.ipitation is the most commonly used cementation process for gold recovery, and consists of four basic steps (Figure 8.1) : Clarification of the leach liquor; ... The presence of copper in cyanide solutions usually causes high cyanide consumption, and a1 so decreases precipitation efficiency by passi vation of the
A method for improving the yield of gold and silver from a Merrill-Crowe recovery process where the presence of copper effects yield. The method involves the addition of a substoichiometric amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in combination with a phosphonate and polyacrylic copolymer scale control agent. The method also reduces zinc consumption and controls scaling in the stripping circuit.

Merrill–Crowe process. The Merrill–Crowe Process is a separation technique for removing gold from the solution obtained by the cyanide leaching of gold ores. It is an improvement of the MacArthur-Forrest process, where an additional vacuum is managed to remove air in the solution, and zinc dust is used instead of zinc shavings.
Studies were conducted to evaluate the Merrill–Crowe cementation method for the simultaneous extraction of platinum, palladium and gold associated with copper and nickel from cyanide solutions, particularly high temperature eluates from carbon adsorption and desorption process.
(ii) Merrill-Crowe process The Merrill-Crowe Process is a separation technique for removing gold from a cyanide solution. The solution is separated from the ore by methods such as filtration and counter current decantation (CCD) and is then clarified in special filters, usually coated with diatomaceous earth to produce a clarified solution [6].
The Merrill–Crowe Process is a separation technique for removing gold from the solution obtained by the cyanide leaching of gold ores. It is an improvement of the MacArthur-Forrest process, where an additional vacuum is managed to remove air in the solution (invention of Crowe), and zinc dust is used instead of zinc shavings (improvement of Merrill). ...
Merrill Crowe Gold winning Process. Tailings that contains gold, silver and copper are threatened with cyanide. It will form into a muddy slurry containing the reacted cyanide. This slurry is treated with lime to neutralize the cyanide. Then, the slurry loaded with dirt lime is pumped to a clarifier: the underflow of the clarifier is the mud ...

The Merrill-Crowe zinc-precipitation process has been applied worldwide on a large number of operations for recovering gold and silver from cyanide solutions. However, in some of the large plants this precipitate is of low quality, because copper and especially lead are precipitated along with gold and silver resulting in a higher consumption of zinc powder, fluxes in the smelting of the ...

TREATMENT OF Merrill Crowe PRECIPITATE. The character and grade of precipitate produced in the Merrill-Crowe process will depend upon several factors. The most important is the nature of the ore being treated the amount of gold and silver and of base metals, copper and lead dissolved by the solutions.
is the Merrill Crowe and the ncreasingly stringent limitations on the purity of the Dore for the refining pi rocess have created a growing interest on the development of a novel process for the removal of precious metals from the pregnant cyanide solution before cementation in the filter press [6] .
