The AZTEC Cyanide Reduction Process (AZ-CRP®) is a revolutionary approach to cyanide management in gold and metal processing. Unlike traditional cyanide detox methods that simply reduce cyanide concentrations in tailings, the AZ-CRP not only detoxifies but also enables additional gold recovery from discharged tailings, enhancing both environmental compliance and profitability. Developed with a focus on sustainability and cost-effectiveness, the AZ-CRP aligns with global environmental regulations and minimises safety risks associated with high cyanide concentrations.
By incorporating proven technologies from over a century of gold and metal processing experience, the AZ-CRP offers a simpler, more economical solution compared to conventional cyanide detoxification and recovery processes. This innovative circuit utilises a combination of patented Up-Flow Reactors, copper-cyanide complex adsorption, and precipitation techniques to efficiently manage cyanide levels while maximising gold recovery.
The AZ-CRP is designed to optimise cyanide usage, reduce operational expenses, and maximise the recovery of precious metals. Here are some of its unique features:
The AZ-CRP is designed to optimise cyanide usage, reduce operational expenses, and maximise the recovery of precious metals. Here are some of its unique features:
By integrating copper precipitation and cyanide recycling, the AZ-CRP reduces the need for expensive detoxification processes and lowers overall operational costs (OPEX).
The process is designed to comply with the International Cyanide Management Code, ensuring reduced environmental impact and improved safety for all stakeholders.
The AZ-CRP is the ideal solution for mining companies looking to enhance gold and metal recovery, reduce operational costs, and maintain environmental compliance. Its innovative design and proven effectiveness make it a strategic choice for modern goldand metal processing challenges.
Extract additional gold from tailings, maximising revenue and project returns.
Lower OPEX through efficient cyanide management and reduced detoxification needs.
Achieve safe cyanide levels in tailings and protect the environment from contamination.
The AZ-CRP is not only focused on enhancing gold and metal recovery but also on maintaining environmentally conscious practices. By reducing cyanide concentrations in tailings to safe levels, the AZ-CRP helps mining operations comply with environmental regulations and protect wildlife. Additionally, the recycling of cyanide within the process reduces the overall consumption, minimising the environmental footprint of gold and metal processing operations.
Ensures compliance with environmental standards and reduces the risk of cyanide contamination in tailings storage facilities.
Recycles cyanide and reduces the need for fresh cyanide inputs, supporting sustainable mining practices.
Minimises the generation of hazardous cyanide gas (HCN) through controlled, vacuum-operated processes.
