The entire process of cyanide leaching for gold extraction, what is it like?

The entire process of cyanide leaching for gold extraction is as follows: The cyanide process involves using a reagent to react with the ore, dissolving the gold from the ore into the reagent solution. The gold is then adsorbed and replaced, initially concentrated, and then refined through smelting to obtain the final product of gold […]

In heap leaching, do we need to treat the activated carbon? If the customer’s conditions do not allow for processing the activated carbon, will it affect the leaching effect?

For heap leaching, simple washing of the activated carbon is sufficient for use, or adding a small amount of activating agent during the adsorption process is enough. It’s a simple process that doesn’t require special treatment, or you can simply provide the customer with high-quality water-washed carbon.

How to distinguish good activated carbon from bad activated carbon? Is the iodine value really the only criterion? Why is it said that some activated carbon with an iodine value of over 1000 is still not good? What is the reason for this?

The standard for judging the quality of activated carbon is based on two factors. Firstly, the higher the iodine value, the better the adsorption capacity, and the more fragile the activated carbon, making it unsuitable for carbon slurry. Secondly, the amount of residue after the activation carbon which is burned should be minimal. The residue can […]
