Activated Carbon Used In Mining
Buy Mining Activated Carbon
Activated carbon is a key material in the mining industry, particularly in the extraction of gold and silver through Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) and Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) processes. In these hydrometallurgical processing methods, the ore is leached with a cyanide solution that solubilizes the precious metals to make a pregnant solution that passes through activated carbon which has a strong affinity to adsorb the gold-cyanide complex on its porous surface. The gold loaded carbon is then separated from the slurry and processed to strip or elute the metals producing concentrated solutions for the recovery process and the carbon can usually be reactivated and reused.
activated carbon for gold recovery
Activated carbon is crucial to modern gold recovery, especially in Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP), Carbon-in-Leach (CIL), heap leaching and Carbon-in-Column (CIC) processes. Activated carbon has a very strong capacity for the gold cyanide Au(CN)₂⁻ complex removing it by adsorbing it from cyanide leach solutions or slurries.
Metal Removal Activated Carbon
Activated charcoal is mainly used in emergency medicine as a treatment for acute poisoning or overdose. When ingested orally shortly after the patient has taken the poison (generally within 1-2 hours), the very porous surface area of charcoal will...
