A double refractory gold ore contains gold particles locked in sulphides, solid-solution in arsenopyrite, and preg-robbing material such as carbonaceous matter, and so on. The diagnostic leach test (DLT) and preg-robbing (PR) approaches are widely used to investigate the occurrence and the distribution of refractory gold. DLT serves to …
Carbon-In-Leach
This method is often employed when native carbon (as organics) is present in the gold ore and adsorbs the leached gold, preventing its recovery. The activated carbon used in the carbon-in-leach circuit preferentially adsorbs the gold over the native carbon and allows the gold to eventually be recovered for stripping.

Factors influencing the rate of gold cyanide leaching and adsorption …
Highlights Worldwide gold recovery on activated carbon grew from zero to almost 70% in twenty years from 1980. The stellar attributes of carbon gold plants led to complacency in the industry in designing and operating these plants. Most CIP and CIL plants are overdesigned and operated sub-optimally. Optimum design criteria and …
Activated Carbon movement study in gold CIL or CIP circuit
The operating costs associated with elution and regeneration are proportional to the rate of carbon transfer through the circuit. Optimum carbon flow-rate must be balanced against the return that could be expected from investment of the value of the gold and carbon locked up in the plant. Source: Advances in Gold Ore Processing
