carbon stripping – denver mineral engineers
the gold depleted solution is then reheated and recycled to the carbon bed for reuse (see figure 1). the process generally takes about 48 to 72 hours. typically the gold content of carbon is reduced from 150 oz au/ton of carbon to less than 3 oz. au/ton of carbon. the zadra process is characterized by simplicity of system design and operation. mild steel equipment is normally used.
