POX Oxygen For Gold Mine

POX Oxygen For Gold Mine
Product Introduction:
High-Purity Oxygen Supply for Pressure Oxidation (POX) of Refractory Gold Ores
The POX Oxygen Generator for Gold Mine is an industrial-grade, high-purity oxygen production system specifically designed to support pressure oxidation (POX) processes used in refractory gold extraction.
By producing oxygen directly at the mine site, the system ensures stable, uninterrupted O₂ supply, enabling the autoclave to maintain correct oxidation kinetics for sulfide decomposition, arsenic stabilization, and liberation of encapsulated gold.
It replaces liquid oxygen delivery, reduces chemical consumption in downstream leaching, and improves overall recovery efficiency in POX circuits.

Description
Technical Parameters

Key Features

 

✔ High-Purity, On-Site Oxygen

Oxygen purity adjustable between 90%–95%, suitable for POX reactor demands.

Eliminates LOX transportation and storage risks.

✔ Built for Autoclave Environments

Stable delivery up to 40 bar with high-pressure compression.

Oxygen flow automatically matches autoclave consumption curves.

✔ High-Reliability PSA/TSA Adsorption Technology

Dual-stage purification ensures purity stability.

Long-life, industrial molecular sieves with minimal maintenance demand.

✔ Modular and Expandable Design

Capacity range 100 to 10,000 Nm³/hr.

Supports multi-autoclave configurations and future mine expansion.

✔ Low Energy Consumption & Low OPEX

PSA technology reduces operating costs by 30–60% compared with delivered LOX.

Optional VFD compressors further cut power usage.

 

How the System Works

 

1) PSA Oxygen Production Unit

Uses selective adsorption to remove nitrogen and moisture.

Produces stable oxygen flow suitable for POX processing.

2) High-Pressure Compression Module

Multi-stage oxygen compressors deliver required pressure for autoclave injection.

Includes cooling system and oxygen-compatible materials to ensure safety.

3) Oxygen Buffer Storage

Stabilizes flow during peak load changes in the POX cycle.

4) Intelligent Control System

PLC + SCADA automation

Real-time monitoring of purity, pressure, and flow

Auto-adjust output based on autoclave retention time & slurry chemistry

 

Application in Gold Mine POX

 

Designed for refractory gold ore processes including:

  • High-pyrite gold ores
  • Arsenopyrite-bearing ores
  • Double refractory ores
  • Carbonaceous refractory concentrates
  • Multi-sulfide mixed ores

Used across the POX plant:

  • Autoclave oxygen injection
  • Pre-oxidation tanks
  • Gas-lift circulation systems
  • Downstream leaching stages requiring enhanced oxidation

 

Benefits for Gold Mining Operations

 

1. Improved Gold Recovery Efficiency

Stable oxygen feed enhances:

Sulfide → Sulfate oxidation rate

Breakdown of arsenic and iron compounds

Release of encapsulated sub-micron gold

2. Lower Operating Costs

Zero LOX transport costs

No cryogenic storage

Reduced cyanide and lime consumption downstream

3. Higher Autoclave Throughput

More efficient reaction kinetics

More predictable retention time

Improved oxidized discharge quality

4. Safer and Greener Operation

No handling of liquid oxygen

Reduced transportation-related emissions

Supports ESG and green mining requirements
