اقرأ أكثرAbstract. Gold is an essential metal in the economy and technologies. Most of the gold is produced from mining and cyanidation is the primary method used for gold extraction, with Au (CN) 2- being the product. Activated carbon adsorption has been the primary commercial approach to recover gold from Au (CN) 2- solution since the 1970 s.

اقرأ أكثرThe Recovery Process. Water and calcium, sodium, or potassium cyanide are added to scraps or ore to create a slurry. The gold present will leach out and mix with the selected cyanide to create a solution. Then, activated carbon is used to separate and contain the gold, which is removed in the final step of the process.
