When extracting gold, the oxygen is the key element for gold ore processing as pressure oxidation (cyanidation).

Benefits of using oxygen application in leaching process :

• Increased Gold Recovery – Higher dissolved oxygen level in leaching process enhances the gold cyanidation, thus increasing gold extraction rate
• Decreased Retention Time by Leaching – Conventional leaching time can be reduced by up to 50 %.
• Increased Ore throughput
• Decreased Cyanide Consumption
• Decreased Waste Treatment – less cyanide to be removed from the waste stream.

On-site oxygen production has many advantages:

• Operating cost reduction
• No heavy cylinder bottles to handle
• Enhanced safety as no more storage of high quantities of combustive gas, under pressure or in liquid cryogenic form
• Ease of mind as the oxygen can be available 24×7. This means no more supply constraints
