Abstract

Language:

This work presents a comparative characterization of five samples of activated carbon and a kinetic evaluation of gold adsorption from diluted cyanide solutions. The characterization was aimed at determining and quantifying some physical and chemical properties considered important for adequate performance of carbon in gold plants. The kinetic study analyzed the influence of gold concentration in solution, temperature, pH, agitation and time on the rate of gold adsorption on carbon. The data obtained were compared with those reported in the literature. A discussion of these results based on the suggested mechanism is also presented.
