Optimizing Gold Extraction in North Africa: Overcoming Refractory Ore Challenges with Premium Reagents
Maximize Recovery Rates in Arid Environments with AuCyan™, AuCarb™, and AuLeach™
United Chemical supplies guaranteed purity AuCyan™ Sodium Cyanide NaCN (≥98.3%), AuCarb™ Gold Recovery Coconut Shell Activated Carbon (≥99% hardness), and non-hazardous AuLeach™ Gold Leaching Agent (GDA) for Heap and Vat leaching across the North African mineral belt.
1. Overcoming Metallurgical Challenges in North Africa
Gold mining operations across North Africa—from Egypt’s massive Sukari complex to Sudan's Hassai mine and Morocco’s polymetallic deposits—face unique metallurgical hurdles. High ambient temperatures, reliance on highly saline groundwater, and the presence of complex refractory ores (often high in copper or clay) severely impact leaching kinetics and Carbon adsorption.
United Chemical engineers tailored solutions to combat these exact pain points. By integrating factory-direct pricing with rigorous supply chain compliance, we ensure uninterrupted operations for Plant Managers and Metallurgists.

2. Guaranteed Purity & Ultimate Gold Recovery Solutions
Our flagship portfolio is designed to thrive under extreme operational stresses, supporting all primary extraction methods: Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP), Carbon-in-Leach (CIL), Carbon-in-Column (CIC), Heap leaching, and Vat leaching.
AuCyan™ Sodium Cyanide NaCN (≥98.3%)
Engineered for rapid dissolution and maximum gold complexation. Our high-purity NaCN minimizes free cyanide consumption even in ores with high cyanicide (e.g., copper) content. We strictly adhere to international maritime dangerous goods (IMDG) regulations for safe, UN-certified export to North African ports.
High Active Content: Guarantees ≥98.3% purity for ultra-fast leaching kinetics.
Secure Logistics: Shipped in UN-certified drums/plywood boxes tailored for maritime and desert transport.

AuLeach™ Gold Leaching Agent (GDA) - Non-Hazardous
A game-changer for eco-conscious operations. AuLeach™ is a cyanide substitute that offers comparable, and often faster, leaching kinetics for Heap Leaching and Vat Leaching. It requires no heavy modifications to existing cyanidation plants and vastly reduces environmental compliance costs.
Eco-Friendly & Safe: Non-hazardous classification dramatically simplifies cross-border transport and storage liabilities.
Direct Replacement: Seamlessly drops into existing heap and vat leaching spraying systems.
Validate Performance on Your Ores

High salinity can impact adsorption kinetics. However, AuCarb™ is engineered with a highly developed microporous structure and ≥99% hardness, maintaining superior gold loading capacity and resisting fouling even in brackish water common in Saharan operations.
Yes. AuLeach™ is specifically formulated for Heap Leaching and Vat Leaching. It acts as a direct, non-hazardous replacement for NaCN, utilizing the same spray systems while drastically reducing environmental monitoring and transportation costs.
We manage full end-to-end compliance. AuCyan™ is shipped in UN-certified packaging (plywood boxes or steel drums) via strictly vetted shipping lines. We handle all MSDS, dangerous goods declarations, and export permits. MOQ is 1x20' FCL.
We gladly provide free test samples of AuCarb™ Activated Carbon and AuLeach™ Gold Leaching Agent so your metallurgists can run independent bottle roll or column leach tests.
Ores in regions like Morocco often contain copper, which acts as a cyanicide. Our AuCyan™ guarantees ≥98.3% purity, ensuring aggressive leaching kinetics and minimizing the overall dosage required to overcome copper interference compared to lower-grade cyanides.
For remote sites where handling highly toxic chemicals poses extreme logistical risks, AuLeach™ GDA is the optimal choice. It provides excellent recovery rates for vat leaching while eliminating the severe security and environmental liabilities of traditional cyanide.
Carbon fines mean lost gold. AuCarb™ is manufactured from premium Coconut Shells with a strict hardness rating of ≥99% and undergoes intensive pre-attrition. This ensures maximum resistance to abrasion during the rigorous agitation of the CIP process.
