Hi,
I have touched on the subject before and am still looking for a cheap, inexpensive way to extract gold from old and undersized loaded carbon.
Question- is it possible to heap leach carbon? I.E. Stack carbon on a pad and leach the gold out of it into a tank/vat to run through an EW cell?
It seems senseless to keep stockpiling loaded carbon for want of a way to extract the gold if there is a way to do it that doen't involve burning it like has been suggested.
Something that would be a good project for a junior or graduate Met to get their teeth into.
Cheers
G
