Activated carbon can be manufactured from wood, nuts shells, coal, petroleum coke and a variety of organic products. Coconut shell carbon is preferred because of its commendable durability and high adsorption capability for gold and silver cyanide [5]. Other modifications include Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) and Carbon-in-Column (CIC).
The Carbon-in-leach process is a counter-current leaching-adsorption process. The slurry containing ore, lime and cyanide enters the CIL circuit from the first tank and carbon enters from the last tank. The concentration of gold in the solution is observed to decrease across the tanks due to the simultaneous adsorption by the carbon particles ...

With carbon-in-column operation, the gold cyanide solution flows through a series of fluidised bed columns in an up-flow configuration. Fluidised bed carbon columns can process solutions that contain as much as 2 to 3 wt% solids, thus making them well suited for heap leach applications which are often high in solids content.

CIL (Carbon in Leach) is a widely used method for extracting gold from ore. It is a metallurgical process that involves the dissolution of gold particles into a cyanide solution and their subsequent adsorption onto activated carbon.
The solubilized gold is simultaneously adsorbed onto coarse granules of activated carbon directly in the pulp in the so-called Carbon-In-Leach process (CIL). The loaded carbon is treated at high temperature to elute the adsorbed gold into …

This document presents a dynamic model of the gold leaching and adsorption process onto activated carbon. The model describes the carbon-in-leach process mathematically, and can also be simplified to model the carbon-in-pulp and gold leaching processes. The model is numerically solved and calibrated using experimental plant data. The calibrated model is then used to …
Recent construction of a carbon-in-leach plant has allowed for an increase in the resource base. The project scope for Lycopodium included development of the treatment plant, associated services, starter and permanent camp and infrastructure. The process plant is designed for a nominal 4.0 Mtpa (9,000 tpd) throughput on the life of mine. ...
Gold Leaching ( carbon in leach) was developed from CIP ( Carbon In Pulp) and is characterized by less process flow, and timesaver in the leaching process, thus reducing the production expenditure. Besides, advanced extraction technology …
pregnant leach 1 iquor. Two of these methods are discussed in this chapter, the Merri 11 -Crowe (zinc cementation) process and the carbon adsorption process. These two methods represent the most frequently used techniques for gold extraction and are, in fact, used almost exclusively in U.S. heap leaching operations.
Cyanidation technology that utilises a Carbon in Pulp or Carbon in Leach process is the most dominant and efficient commercial technology currently used for extracting gold from ores. Activated ...
The process has evolved through work at Hazen Research, Inc. for Kamyr, Inc. and in brief, the consists of utilizing oxygen rather than air in the carbon-in- leach (CIL) process. We refer to this improved process for all ores amenable to cyanide leaching as carbon-in-1each with oxygen or CILO. Laboratory Test Work
3. Carbon-In-Leach (CIL): The carbon-in-leach process integrates leaching and carbon-in-pulp into a single unit process operation. Leach tanks are fitted with carbon retention screens and the CIP tanks are eliminated. Carbon is added in leach so that the gold is adsorbed onto carbon almost as soon as it is dissolved by the cyanide solution.
The gold cyanidation process, also known as gold CIL (Carbon in Leach) or CIP (Carbon in Pulp), is a hydrometallurgical technique used to extract gold from ore by converting the gold into a water-soluble coordination complex. This method …
containing solution (pregnant leach) is collected from the liner into a leach pond and sent off to carbon adsorption. The leaching process will take from 60-90 days. High grade ore is typically reserved for agitated leaching. fi nely ground ore (< 200 mesh) is combined with the cyanide solution in a series of tanks. This slurry is referred to ...

A gold leaching model, based on the well-known shrinking-core model, is presented in this work. It is proposed that the reaction takes place at the reacting particle surface which is continuously
The carbon in the first CIL tank thus contains the highest grade of gold. 3. Carbon elution Loaded carbon from the fist CIL tank is transferred by a slurry pump to the loaded carbon screen. The slurry is screened, the oversize carbon washed and gravitated to the vertical elution column.

The CIL process The carbon-in-leach (CIL) process, illustrated in Figure 3 is a variation of the CIP process. In this process carbon is added directly to the leach circuit so that the leaching and adsorption processes proceed simultaneously. Capital cost is reduced, as only one set of agitators for both leaching and
The carbon-in-pulp process configuration (similar to resin-in-pulp and carbon-in-leach) provides an attractive and economical option by eliminating the problematic solid–liquid separation step, which as a result also reduces the volume of wash water and the loss of gold. 2.3 Heap Leaching
