Gold processing techniques using activated carbon or Gold leaching process with Carbon In Pulp in gold mining is a way to separate the gold metal or extraction of separation of minerals gold with other impurities. Where part of the processing of Carbon In Pulp using cyanide solution to separation. The processing of gold first time with using a Carbon In Pulp (CIP) introduced in gold mining in the early 1980s, and is considered as a process that is simple and cheap in the gold mining industry. But processing using cyanide in gold mining if not done correctly, would harm the surrounding environment.
For separation gold process by means of Carbon In Pulp needed an activated carbon which serves as metal absorbent material and activated carbon material mostly made from coconut shells. In addition to from that required cyanide to stage gold mineral dissolution process of the sludge. Before the leaching process in Carbon In pulp, mineral rock must have a size that such as flour, which later on will used as a slurry.
Some tank with a large size is used in gold leaching process in Carbon In Pulp. Tank that is often used is usually about 4, 6 or 9 tanks with a diameter of about 5 to 6 feet, and has a height of about 15 to 20 feet. Inside this tank the mineral slurry having a gold content will be dissolved or leaching with a series of tanks.
In the mineral leaching of gold ore, slurry from the tank is moved using a pump machine to the next tank. Two main methods in the form of Carbon in Pulp and then transferred into a tank carbon in column used to process gold dissolution and absorption of the metal. Gold leaching process through a chemical process. Results from the dissolution process of gold then transferred using a pump machine with connecting the cyanide solution with activated carbon. Then gold metal minerals will be attached to the active carbon, which will then be screened using a screening equipment and then washed to separate the activated carbon and gold metal . Activated carbon which has been completed in the washing stage or gold mineral separator can be reused in a solution of cyanide tank. For the size of the granular activated carbon or carbon between 10 to 16 mesh is often difficult to use.
