Gold loss in carbon fines is a major concern for gold mines. I am looking for percentage of carbon fines generated during regeneration of carbon in rotary kiln. Anyone data available from industry?

Best split 'till the weight of the ore is 150 grams. Better yes is to do your leach test with 1000 grams
