PSA Onsite Oxygen Generator For Gold Mine Sparging

Q1: Why do we need an onsite oxygen generator for gold mining?
A: Oxygen is essential for key stages such as sulfide oxidation, cyanide leaching, and flotation. Onsite generators ensure continuous, on-demand oxygen supply, improving extraction efficiency and avoiding supply-chain risks.

Q2: Can the PSA oxygen generator really replace liquid oxygen supply or cylinders?
A: Yes - the generator produces oxygen directly from air, eliminating the need for transporting and storing liquid oxygen or relying on cylinder deliveries, which are often costly and logistically difficult in remote mines.

Q3: Is the oxygen purity sufficient for gold leaching and sparging?
A: Yes - PSA-generated oxygen meets the purity and stability requirements needed for sulfide oxidation, cyanidation, and flotation processes in gold mining.
 

Q4: Is this solution reliable in remote or harsh mining environments?
A: Yes - NEWTEK's generators are designed for rugged conditions and provide stable operation even in remote, high-altitude or logistically challenging sites.

Q5: How does using an oxygen generator affect operating costs?
A: Producing oxygen on-site reduces or eliminates costs associated with oxygen transport and storage, lowers chemical consumption (e.g. cyanide), and reduces dependency on external supply - leading to long-term cost savings.
 

Q6: Is this technology more environmentally friendly than traditional oxygen supply methods?
A: Yes - onsite generation minimizes transport emissions, reduces chemical waste, supports efficient oxidation and leaching, and contributes to safer handling compared to cryogenic or cylinder oxygen supply.
