Gold recovery is the process of extracting and refining gold in its raw form. Industries must focus on striking the right balance between operating cost and maximizing return on investment, whilst being environmentally responsible. Activated carbon is vital to gold extraction operations, to be used as an adsorbent in mining operations. Its high surface area and superior hardness make activated carbon an important component in gold processing operations, including carbon-in-leach (CIL), carbon-in-column (CIC) and carbon-in-pulp operating systems.
Role of Activated Carbon in Gold Recovery Process
Choosing the right activated carbon for the gold recovery process is pivotal to maximize profits & improving yield. As the leading activated carbon manufacturer in world, Western Adsorbents & Catalysts, we provide a comprehensive range of activated carbon for the gold mining industry. Our coconut shell activated carbon is one of he most popular grades for gold recovery applications produced by selected high-quality Indian coconuts by steam activation. It offers optimal adsorption kinetics for gold recovery in various processes.
In the gold recovery process, water and cyanide, like sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide or calcium cyanide, are incorporated to form a slurry. The gold leaches out and blends with cyanide to form a solution. In this process, activated carbon is used to separate and hold the gold, which is further removed after processing. Here, coconut shell activated carbon manufacturers in India recommend Gold recovery Coconut shell activated carbon for its high adsorption efficiency, better recovery rates and longer service life.
Gold Recovery Process & Use of Activated Carbon
➤ Carbon in Pulp (CIP): The pulp is leached in the agitation tank before introducing activated carbon.
➤ Carbon in Leach (CIL): Activated carbon is added to the slurry as the gold is leached and absorbed at the same time.
➤ Carbon in Column (CIC): Here, ore is leached, and a clarified solution is fluidized in a column with activated carbon
