AI Technical Summary
In the countercurrent washing process of thickeners in medium and large-sized cyanide plants, there are problems such as high washing stages, large footprint, large washing water volume, large replacement operation volume, and frequent cabinet exit.
The system adopts a combined washing mode of "filtering first and then countercurrent". The filter press is used to fully separate the high-concentration precious liquid from the filter cake. The filter cake moisture content is reduced by backwashing and blowing through the filter press, which reduces the number of washing stages and the amount of washing water added in the thickener. The system is combined with two-stage thickener for countercurrent washing.
It significantly reduces the number of washing stages and water volume in the thickener, improves washing efficiency, reduces equipment footprint and operational complexity, while retaining the thickener's buffering capacity.
