Activated carbon is an adsorbent that increases the concentration of gold in the solution phase. For example, an ore containing 3 g/t is leached, mixed with carbon, which loads to 3 000 g/t, a concentration up of 1 000 times. Initially the gold is leached using cyanide, lime …

1.. IntroductionCyanidation is widely used by many gold mining companies to dissolve gold from an ore or concentrate. After cyanidation the gold may be recovered from the solution by adsorption on activated carbon (McDougall and Hancock, 1981, Tsuchida et al., 1984, Bailey, 1987).The main carbon adsorption technologies are carbon-in-leach …

Gold is recovered from its raw materials by bioleaching or cyanidation, followed by other operations, i.e., adsorption on the activated carbon [1][2][3], zinc precipitation [3,4] and ion exchange ...

Highlights Worldwide gold recovery on activated carbon grew from zero to almost 70% in twenty years from 1980. The stellar attributes of carbon gold plants led to complacency in the industry in designing and operating these plants. Most CIP and CIL plants are overdesigned and operated sub-optimally. Optimum design criteria and …

This section of the paper reviews some of the most common methods used to recover gold from leaching solution. 5.1. Activated carbon (AC) Activated Carbon …

Barrick Gold has been granted a patent for a gold recovery process that uses activated carbon to accelerate thiosulfate leaching of gold from a gold-bearing material. The process involves contacting the precious metal-bearing material with activated carbon, thiosulfate, an anion exchange resin, and an oxidant to form a slurry, and then leaching …

Gold leaching i n alkaline thiourea shows better selectivity than acidic thiourea leaching, which also deserves attention (Zheng et al., 2006). B ase metals such as Pb, Zn, and Cu are

To improve the utilization value of coal resources and optimize the production process of coal-based activated carbon, an L 9 (3 4) orthogonal experiment was designed to study the comprehensive effects of the carbonization temperature, heating rate, activation time and activator type on the specific surface area and iodine value of …

This method of making soluble gold is known as leaching. In the process of leaching, a dilute form of sodium cyanide is added to the ore containing the gold. Since gold is soluble after the leaching process, it is free to …

Carbon-in-pulp and carbon-in-leach are continuous processes that have been wide used in gold extraction plants. These. processes occur in a cascade of larger agitated tanks, and the carbon-in-pulp ...
