GoldSorb

The days when gold prospectors could extract nuggets from the hillside with picks and shovels are long gone. Advanced chemical processing techniques are now required to recover the minute traces of gold which remain in the earth's crust. Ore is extracted, milled and treated with sodium cyanide to leach the gold into solution. GoldSorb activated carbons are used to adsorb the gold complex which is formed in carbon-in-leach (CIL), carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and heap leach/carbon-in-column (CIC) circuits. The gold loaded activated carbon is eluted and the gold is recovered using zinc precipitation or electrowinning techniques.

Now more than ever, selecting the correct activated carbon is vital to the economics of the entire process since carbon losses in these circuits remove gold with them.   Maximizing the efficiency of the activated carbon in this process has led numerous customers to GoldSorb products as the most valuable product in the mines!
