  ABSTRACT: In this study computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach was used to study mixing in an Industrial gold leaching tank. The objective was to analyze the extent of mixing in the tank by producing visual images of the various mixing zones in the tank domain. Eddy viscosity plots that characterise the extent of mixing in the tank were generated in the flow field obtained by an Eulerian-Eulerian approach. The extent of mixing was found to be greatest in the circulation loops of the impeller discharge region and least at the top and bottom portions of the tank. Trailing vortices that contribute to some level of mixing were identified in between the impeller blades. This approach could be used to enhance optimum design of mixing vessels and to eliminate the need for pilot plants.
