Carbon In Pulp Literature Review

1083 Words5 Pages

LITERATURE REVIEW INTRODUCTION This chapter covers the gold cyanidation process (Carbon in Pulp), the chemistry and kinetics of leaching, phenomena in gold leaching and the factors affecting leaching phenomena. THE CARBON IN PULP PROCESS The carbon-in-pulp (CIP) process, which was developed to its present form in South Africa during the 1970s, is considered to be the most significant advance in gold recovery technology in recent years. Using CIP, the minute (but economically important) quantity of gold that remained in the barren solutions and solid residues from conventional processing can be recovered. In the CIP process, activated carbon is used to adsorb the gold directly from the cyanided pulp in a series of large adsorption tanks. Pulp flows continually from the first vessel to the last in the series, and the carbon is transferred intermittently by pumping in the opposite (countercurrent) direction. Interstage screens between the tanks prevent the carbon from moving downstream. The gold value of the pulp decreases downstream, and the gold loading on the carbon increases upstream, with the highest value in the first tank. In a variation to this method, termed carbon-in-leach (CIL), leaching and adsorption are done in the same series of tanks. Today, cyanide leaching is the method ofchoice for the recovery ofmost ofthe world 's gold production.It all started with the reaIization by MacArthur and the Forrest Brothers in the 1890 's that gold and silver dissolved in

    A spectroscopy curve was produced of the acid and the absorbance of the unknown mineral could be obtained in order to find what that unknown copper is. Through these methods there is not preferred method when it comes to finding the percentage of an unknown substance, but which is more effective in accurately depicting what that unknown substance is. Standard deviation plays a major part in this experiment to help balance out and find the mean of the unknown substance to help constitute what it is. Through this the difference between smelting and roasting is that one produces a metal from its ore and the other drices off the carbon to obtain an

  • Summary Of Industrial Food Pollan

    523 Words  | 3 Pages

    I found Pollan 's book to be very informative and enjoyable to read. I particularly liked the fact that I could associate Pollan’s cultural, political and economic views to the topics we covered in class. In order to complete this assignment, I selected Part 1 of the book "Industrial Food" because I was particularly captivated by the secrets of corn and also because I believed that this section sincerely disclosed the reality behind High-Fructose Corn Syrup (a major participant in the development of obesity). Not only that but, the fact that corn is found in almost every product in our pantry, it’s a little frightening.

    In the story “Tangerine” by Edward Bloor, Paul is characterized as an observant and introverted character who has the gift of knowing who a person really is. Even though Paul’s parents choose to be the ignorant people they are, they really don’t believe what Paul sees since they think that he’s visually impaired. According to page 63 of “Tangerine”, “You told them I’m handicapped! You told them I’m visually impaired!” Paul’s parents had told his teachers that h was visually impaired and now Coach Walski kicked Paul off the team for just that reason.

    Finally, on January 24, 1848, Marshall noticed something yellow and flaky in the riverbend one day, and he reached down to grab the mysterious yellow thing. His heart skipped a beat. He has found gold that is the same size as a pea, then he found another, and another, and another. Marshall then went to find Sutter to share his new discovery. Sutter was amazed with Marshalls finding, and to test if it was real gold, they put the gold in some acid to see if it either had an impact, which means fake, or no impact, which means real.

Sulfide mining is the process of removing copper, nickel, and other metals from sulfide ores. Minnesota 's traditional iron ore mining and sulfide mining are two very different types of mining. Sulfide mining has more environmental risks than Minnesota 's traditional iron ore mining. AMD (Acid Mine Drainage) is created from sulfuric acid.

    Our calculations said that 2.29 grams of AlCl3 were produced, however this was inaccurate. This lab uses aluminum foil, which is impure. These impurities(mainly iron) were also metals higher than copper on the activity series, so they also single displaced copper. The basis for this claim is that the dried AlCl3 was yellow. According to further study, when AlCl3 is yellow, it is contaminated with FeCl3.

  • Empirical Formula Of Copper Chloride Lab Report

    729 Words  | 3 Pages

    As soon as the wire was submerged into the solution, the aluminum atoms and the copper (II) ions underwent a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction, meaning aluminum was oxidized and donated its electrons to the copper ions, which were reduced. As a result, solid copper began to form on the surface of the aluminum wire, giving the wire a brown-orange color that resembled rust. The wire had to be regularly shaken in order to remove the solid copper particles and thereby expose more of the aluminum wire to react with the surrounding solution. As the reaction progressed, the liquid copper chloride solution slowly began to lose its color and turn clear. This was a chemical reaction, as seen by the bubbles formed with the wire was added, meaning gas was released when aluminum was oxidized and copper was reduced, but it also gave rise to physical changes, such as the change in color of the solution from blue-green to rusty orange to clear.
