The leaching and adsorption behaviour of gold ores
Kinetic models were developed for the leaching of gold from the ore, adsorption onto activated carbon and preg-robbing at the ore surface. A variable order empirical model of the Mintek form was used to describe leaching, while adsorption was modelled using the film-transfer model. A model of this form was also used for preg robbing using the Freundlich isotherm to describe the equilibrium ...
