ES1098 Heap, VAT and CIL/CIP Gold Leaching Guide

Heap, vat and agitated CIL/CIP are evaluation contexts identified for ES1098. Selection depends on the representative feed and controlled test programme.

Test design

Document mineralogy, assay, particle size, solution volume, pH, ES1098 concentration, sampling frequency and analytical method. Dosage is expressed per tonne of water solution.

Operating boundary

Use pH 11.0–11.5 as the catalogue ore-test reference and do not exceed pH 12 when lime is used. Determine the endpoint from measured recovery and consumption; the catalogue does not establish a universal residence time.

Document control: This page follows the September 2026 ES1098 & ES1099 Product & Application Overview. Values are reference starting points only. Final conditions require representative testing, the current SDS, project HSE controls and local requirements. Open the original catalogue.
