Activated Carbon for Gold Recovery - Puragen

Gold Recovery Process. For gold recovery, water and a cyanide such as calcium cyanide, sodium cyanide, or potassium cyanide, are added to ore or scraps to form a slurry. The gold will leach out and mix with the cyanide into a solution. Activated carbon is then used to separate and store the gold, which is removed as the final step of the process.

CYANIDE RECOVERY COST EFFECTIVENESS IS WHY

Legislation in most gold mining regions of the world demands that gold plants meet rigorous environmental standards with respect to cyanide. These requirements can be met either by destroying cyanide after a single pass through the gold plant or by recovering cyanide from the tailings and recycling it to leaching. Although cyanide recovery ...
