The zinc causes a chemical reaction which separates the gold from the ore. The gold is then removed from the solution with a filter press. For the carbon-in-pulp method, the ground ore is mixed with water before cyanide is added. Then carbon is added to bond with the gold. The carbon-gold particles are put into a caustic carbon solution ... read more
Gold is adsorbed onto the activated carbon. The filtrate is then sent to the elution vessel, V-401, where the elution process begins. The gold is eluted into a water solution from the carbon by the American-Anglo Research Laboratories (AARL) method, leaving the barren carbon behind. Figure 5 shows the carbon adsorption and AARL elution ... read more
Jan 02, 2013 The gold cyanide complex is then extracted from the pulp or slurry by adsorption onto activated carbon. CIL stands for carbon-in-leach. This is a gold extraction process called cyanidation where carbon is added to the leach tanks (or reaction vessel) so that leaching and adsorption take place in the same tanks. read more
Feb 28, 2016 For example, if the fire assay reported 0.1 mg of gold and the initial weight of sample was 20 g, the gold content is 0.14583 oz/t or 4.54 g/t.

The carbon displaces the metal from the compound, and removes the oxygen from the oxide. This leaves the metal. The table summarises the extraction methods used for different metals. read more
Gold is a precious, conductive, and pliable metal that retains a stable value better than many commodities. Its chemical properties make it useful for the manufacture of computers parts and electronics. Some people find it profitable to attempt to extract the gold … read more
4.6 Recall that the extraction of metals involves reduction of ores; 4.7a Explain why the method used to extract a metal from its ore is related to its position in the reactivity series and the cost of the extraction process, illustrated by: heating with carbon (including iron) Edexcel Combined science.

The use of mercury in gold mining is causing a global health and environmental crisis. Mercury, a liquid metal, is used in artisanal and small-scale gold mining to extract gold from rock and sediment. Unfortunately, mercury is a toxic substance that wreaks havoc on miners’ health, not to mention the health of the planet. read more
The carbon used in the process is recycled and an electric current is passed through the new solution, depositing the gold on a steel wool cathode. The gold laden cathode is treated with hydrochloric acid to dissolve any residual steel and the gold sludge is filtered and dried, ready for smelting. read more
Gold is generally found in two types of deposits: lode (vein) or placer deposits; the mining technique used to extract the gold depends upon the type of deposit. Once extracted, the gold is refined with one of four main processes: floatation, amalgamation, cyanidation, or carbon-in-pulp. read more
Jan 01, 2008 The pre-soaked gold cyanide-loaded activated carbon in the vessel is then contacted with the organic solvent solution (50 mL), preferably an aqueous organic solvent solution, for about 15 min. The selected solvents are: acetonitrile, acetone, methanol, ethanol and isopropanol. Preferably, the solution is from about 10 to about 40% (v/v). read more
Feb 23, 2009 Leaching dissolves the gold out of the ore using a chemical solvent. The most common solvent is cyanide, which must be combined with oxygen in a process known as carbon-in-pulp. As the cyanide and oxygen react chemically, gold in the pulp dissolves. When workers introduce small carbon grains to the tank, the gold adheres to the carbon. read more
The dissolved gold is readily adsorbed onto the carbon, thus removing it from solution, and the granular carbon is separated from the now barren ore by running the slurry through a screen. Gold is then leached from the carbon particles by a strong solution of sodium cyanide and sodium hydroxide, and it is recovered from solution by electrowinning directly onto steel wool or by the Merrill-Crowe process. read more
Take two pieces of wire and strip about an inch of insulation off of the ends with a pair of wire strippers. On each piece of wire, connect a small alligator clip to one end of the wire. Connect the other end of the wire to a 9- or 12-volt battery. Use the large square batteries with spring-like posts on top. read more
