Activated Carbon for Gold Recovery: Laboratory Testing and Quality Control

Gold recovery depends on more than chemistry in CIL or CIP plants— it depends on carbon.

When activated carbon loses its activity, the entire circuit pays the price. The price is in the enormous gold lock up in these circuits, as well as the cost of the carbon inventory. Loss of gold in solution or in carbon fines is also has a significant impact on gold recovery and ultimately on revenue.

This handbook reveals the laboratory methods and quality‑control principles that keep carbon performing at its peak. From adsorption tests to hardness and abrasion analysis, it shows how to diagnose, measure, and prevent carbon decline before it costs you gold and money.

Clear, practical, and data‑driven, Activated Carbon for Gold Recovery is the essential reference for metallurgists, process engineers, and laboratory professionals who demand precision in every test and reliability in every ton of carbon.
