Gold recovery by microwave augmented ashing of waste activated carbon …
After cyanidation the gold may be recovered from the solution by adsorption on activated carbon (McDougall and Hancock, 1981, Tsuchida et al., 1984, Bailey, 1987). The main carbon adsorption technologies are carbon-in-leach (CIL), carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-column (CIC) processes. After gold adsorption, the loaded carbon is separated by ...
