Oct 26, 2012· The feasibility of a process involving the use of activated carbon in a multistage column (NIMCIX contactor) for the recovery of gold from unclarified pregnant solutions was investigated on pilot-plant scale. It was found that satisfactory extractions, corresponding to a recovery of 99.6 percent, can be achieved with an average gold concentration of 0.0077 p.p.m. in the barren solutions from a ...

This article serves to discuss the fundamental aspects of gold recovery utilizing the Carbon-in-Pulp or Carbon-in-Leach processes. The purpose is to describe in simple terms what activated carbon is all about and how it adsorbs gold. The understanding of the mechanism of gold adsorption is important because the CIP/CIL processes work as

Jan 01, 2005· By replacing the Merrill–Crowe zinc cementation step, carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-leach (CIL) recovery provided a process that allowed the treatment of lower grade and problematic ores (e.g. high-clay ores), at lower capital and operating costs and higher metal recoveries.

The carbon in pulp method is only used where tank leaching is utilized for the recovery of gold from the ores and this is not the case in most large gold mines today, since heap leaching is the lowest cost method for recovering gold from ores containing from a few grams to 5 or 6 grams per ton.

Calgon Carbon's high-quality GACs are proven to maximize recovery efficiencies by reducing gold loss and minimizing carbon consumption when used for Carbon-in-Leach (CIL), Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) and Carbon-in-Column (CIC) gold extraction techniques.

This invention relates to the recovery of gold from carbon fines. Carbon fines are produced when carbon, which is used in a carbon-in-leach (CIL) or carbon-in-pulp (CIP) process for the recovery of gold, is broken. Typically, these fines, loaded to some extent with gold, exit from a last adsorption stage of the process and are then lost.

The carbon in the reactor into which pregnant pulp is fed (referred to as the first reactor) becomes highly loaded with gold. Loaded carbon values on operating plants range from 300 to 20 000 grams of gold per ton of carbon, a concen-trating factor of about 1 000–1 500. A portion of the loaded carbon is periodically removed from the first ...

In the gold mining industry today, cyanide leaching is the prevailing method for solubilizing and recovering gold. Most of the new gold that is mined each year is processed via adsorption of gold cyanide onto activated carbon (Fleming et al. 2011). Typically, the carbon in pulp (CIP) or carbon in leach (CIL) process is used for gold recovery. These

Carbon in pulp (CIP) is an extraction technique for recovery of gold which has been liberated into a cyanide solution as part of the gold cyanidation process. Hard carbon particles (much larger than the ore particle sizes) can be mixed with the ore and cyanide solution mixture.

Gold Carbon-in-pulp (CIP) production line is an extraction technique for recovery of gold which has been liberated into a cyanide solution as part of the gold cyanidation process. High Efficiency When the grade of gold loaded carbon reaches 3000g/t, desorption rate can reach more than 96%.

carbon-in-solution for the recovery of gold from clarified solutions by J. van Deventer*, J.P. Wyethe*, M.H. Kotze*, and J. Shannon† Synopsis Testwork was done with two different adsorbents, Dowex-Minix gold-selective resin and activated carbon, to detemine their relative performances with regard to gold recovery from clarified low-grade

Activated carbon is then used to separate and store the gold, which is removed as the final step of the process. There are three basic operating systems in use for modern gold recovery: Carbon in Pulp: Carbon in pulp, or CIP, processing occurs when the leaching takes place in an agitation tank before the activated carbon is introduced.

Carbon-In-Leach. Carbon-in-leach combines leaching with the carbon-in-pulp process, creating a single unit process operation. Usually this method is chosen when native carbon (a high organics load) is present in the gold ore, adsorbing the leached gold and preventing its recovery.

-by activated coconut carbon is a well proven process widely used to recover gold from slurry at cyanide leaching plants. In this research, modelling of adsorption of dissolved gold performed by using real CIP (carbon in pulp) plant data. For this aim, five kinetic models and the gold mass balance calculations were used together.

Today's gold mining operations optimize efficiency and output through the use of superior Haycarb gold recovery carbon technology. Our high density carbons with particle to particle consistency in activity and shape is an ideal solution for applications in CIL (carbon-in-leach), CIP (Carbon-in-pulp) and CIC (carbon-in-column) processes.

the activated carbon is moved from one tank to another in countercurrent with the ore pulp until the recovery of the loaded carbon in the first tank. This paper presents a dynamic model that describes, with minor changes, the carbon-in-leach, the carbon-in-pulp, and the gold …

pulp in either a carbon-in-leach (CIL), or a carbon-in-pulp (CIP) plant. In both these cases, the coarse granules of activated carbon are mechanically mixed with the pulp in an adsorption tank, and gold-loaded carbon granules are separated from gold-depleted pulps by screening. The screening operation is done at screen

A process for adsorbing gold from a leach pulp by means of activated carbon is described in which the leach pulp (the leach solution together with the subdivided gold bearing ore) is diluted to a specific gravity of less than that of the activated carbon and is subsequently passed upwardly through a multistage liquid/solid contacting column.

A major use of activated carbon in mining is in gold recovery, where granular activated carbon (GAC) is used for adsorption of the gold-cyanide complex in carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-leach (CIL) systems, or in carbon-in-column (CIC) systems after a heap leach operation carbon.
