Merrill Crowe Process & Equipment
In many of the older plants, zinc shaving boxes have been dismantled to be replaced with the Merrill-Crowe Process, and in designing new plants, metallurgists on the Rand, and in fact throughout the world, have, almost without exception, embodied it in their flowsheets. Types of Equipment Used in the Merrill-Crowe Process

Factors influencing the rate of gold cyanide leaching
Consequently, little attention is paid to circuit optimization at the feasibility and plant design stages, and many plants are designed with the bare minimum of test work, by following a few "rules of thumb" that were established in early plant designs. ...

Merrill Crowe vs Carbon
Carbon regeneration is also dependent on the amount of carbon processed. On the other hand, with a Merrill-Crowe process, the total capital cost is solely a function of the initial flow rate. Operating costs vary in the CIP plant according to the grade of gold in the leach liquor. This cost does not vary with the Merrill-Crowe except in the ...

For plant design purposes, with cyanide consumption projected from laboratory test work, if the cyanide consump-tion is underestimated by 25%, or 0.5 kg/t-ore, this will add $1.80/t-ore to operating costs once in production. For a 20,000-t/d plant, this would increase annual operating costs by $13.1
