Why Oxygen Matters in Gold Mining?
In gold extraction, especially in CIL (Carbon-in-Leach) and CIP (Carbon-in-Pulp) processes, oxygen is a key reagent. Higher dissolved oxygen levels increase the efficiency of cyanide in dissolving gold from ore. Traditionally, oxygen is supplied via cylinders or bulk liquid deliveries-but these approaches are expensive, logistically challenging, and prone to delays, especially in remote areas.
NEWTEK's on-site PSA oxygen generation solves these challenges by providing a continuous, high-purity oxygen supply tailored to the demands of mining operations.
Mining Process Applications
CIL/CIP gold leaching tanks
Increased dissolution rate and metal recovery
Flotation enhancement
Oxygen improves bubble kinetics and mineral separation
Pre-oxidation of sulfide ores
Enhances gold liberation from refractory ores
Oxy-fuel smelting (optional)
Increases smelter temperature and reduces fuel use
Advantages for Gold Mines
| Benefit | Impact |
|---|---|
| Higher gold recovery rates | Improves overall extraction efficiency |
| Lower cyanide consumption | Optimizes reagent use due to better oxidation |
| Eliminates transport risk | No more delays or costs from oxygen logistics |
| Compact footprint | Fits into remote or confined mining sites |
| Easy maintenance | Designed for long-term use with local servicing options |
Field-Proven Reliability
NEWTEK systems have been deployed in gold mining operations across Africa, Latin America, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia, including in high-altitude, tropical, and desert environments. Their containerized PSA units are particularly well-suited for fast installation, whether for permanent mines or temporary processing setups.
Sustainability & Safety
- Reduces carbon emissions from transportation and gas handling
- On-demand oxygen eliminates cylinder storage risks
- Supports cleaner processing with fewer chemical residues
- Low-waste PSA process using ambient air as feedstock
What's Included in the NEWTEK System
