Operation Instruction

1. Application Scope
GDA is suitable for containing gold and silver oxide ore, primary ore, gold concentrate, sulfuric
acid slag, copper lead and zinc slag, cyanide tailings, anode mud, electronic materials, gravity
separation flotation tailings and other materials containing gold and silver leaching, heap
leaching, tank leaching, carbon leaching process. GDA and sodium cyanide production process
is exactly the same, can be mixed use.

2. Shape and Solution


(1) The product is powdery and grainy.
(2) With the mixing bucket, ore pile backwater, over carbon place connecting one more opening,
carbon bucket etc. flowing water ways to dissolve are the the fastest.

3. Alkalinity Adjustment
With lime, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) adjust pH value to 10.5 - 12, check often and adjust
timely. PH value is too high, affecting carbon adsorption, too low will hydrolyze, increase dosage.

4. Calculation of Dosage
(1) According to the grade of gold and silver materials and the harmful elements of leaching, the
best dosage was determined by small test, may refer to sodium cyanide dosage, the theoretical
dosage of GDA is 0.1 - 0.6 kg / gram-ton ore (i. e., per gram gold of per ton ore, the higher the
grade, the less GDA dosage), the initial production concentration of GDA may be higher, the
normal production concentration is 0.1 - 0.7‰ (1-7 per 10,000). Determine the optimum
concentration according to actual production.
(2) When the concentration of GDA is below the optimum value in normal production, calculate
the supplement dosage according to the water quantity: supplement dosage = (optimum
concentration − measured concentration) × production water quantity, If the optimum
concentration is 0.6‰, the measured concentration is 0.09‰, the water quantity is 600 m3, and
the supplement dosage = (0.6−0.09) × 600=306 kg.

5. GDA Concentration Detection Method


(1) Required instruments: 5ml pipette 1, 10ml pipette 1, red head dropper 1, and 50 - 100ml
conical flask 1.
(2) Reagent Preparation
Chromogenic agent: Take 0.2 grams of rhodanine and dissolve it in 200ml acetone (or 95%
alcohol), stored in a brown bottle stand by.
Test agent: Take 1.25 grams of silver nitrate and dissolve it in 500ml distilled water, stored in a
brown bottle stand by.
(3) Operation Method
① Use pipette to suck 10ml GDA solution (pregnant solution or barren solution) into conical flask,
drop in 5 drops of chromogenic agent and shake well, the solution is light yellow.
② Use pipette to suck 10mI test agent (silver nitrate solution) and slowly drop into conical flask,
drop while shake at the same time, stop continuing to drip in when the solution in the bottle
becomes light red, take note the number of test agent to be dropped, the amount of drops is the
concentration of GDA, if the amount of drops is 0.6 ml, GDA solution concentration is 0.6‰(6 per
10,000), and so on.
(4) The results of traditional sodium cyanide test are different, but they can be used as a method
of dosing in production.

6. Others
(1) GDA is prohibited to store and transport with acid chemicals, food.
(2) Complex ores may be referred to conventional methods of pretreatment, the use of lead
nitrate, hydrogen peroxide solution, ammonia, sodium peroxide (potassium) as oxidant and
inhibitor, is good for leaching of gold and silver, but excessive dosage will increase the amount of
GDA, increase the cost of production.
(3) GDA dissolves the gold and silver faster than the sodium cyanide, timely detect, timely
adsorpt of dissolved gold and silver.
(4) GDA refers to the temperature required for the production of sodium cyanide.
(5) After the dissolution of GDA some water turns grey and remaining a small amount of
undissolved substance does not affect the leaching.
(6) Apricot shell activated carbon, coconut shell activated carbon, zinc powder and zinc wire all
can be used as auxiliary collectors, gold special coconut shell charcoal adsorpts gold more
thoroughly.
