Outotec introduces MesoTHERM BIOX process to significantly reduce cyanide consumption in refractory gold ore treatment
Traditionally, cyanide consumption with conventional bio-oxidation residues is higher than with residues produced through other oxidative technologies. The Outotec® MesoTHERM BIOX® process, based on Outotec’s proven mesophile BIOX process, offers an easy, cost-effective upgrade path that can cut cyanide consumption by as much as 50% compared to conventional bio-oxidation. The Outotec MesoTHERM BIOX process enhances the established mesophile BIOX process by combining mesophile bio-oxidation technology with a higher-temperature thermophile oxidative stage to enable an even more effective
