- Determination of economic feasibility of the proposed process for particulate and “dissolved” gold
- Determination of clogging rate*
Comments from Customer
I forgot to add this question as well.
Given that the gold concentration needed for economic feasibility is 0.25 mgAu/Kgsed, determine whether there is an economic incentive for the proposed process under two scenarios:
a. Complete recovery of gold (regardless of particle size)
b. Partial recovery of gold (for recovery of particle sizes exceeding 450 nm only)
