DetailsGold cyanide is adsorbed into the pores of activated carbon, resulting in a process solution that is devoid of gold. The loaded carbon is heated by a strong solution of hot caustic and cyanide to reverse the adsorption process and strip the carbon of gold. Gold is then removed from the solution by electrowinning.
Detailscarbon is periodically removed from the first adsorption reactor. This loaded carbon may then be subjected to an acid wash by treating the carbon with a hot or cold solution of dilute hydrochloric acid. This removes CaCO3 that has precip-itated on the carbon, as well as cleaning fines out of the carbon pores. The acid washed carbon is then eluted.
Detailscarbon is acid-washed, using either hydrochloric or sulfuric acids. When using this type, be sure to pick the right anion for the plating bath. For example, don't use a hydrochloric acid-washed carbon to treat a bright acid-copper bath, because the chloride ion may end up outside the 50–100 ppm range. Bath Maintenance Tips _____
