CIL guide: Carbon In Leach

A simplified educational overview of CIL and where LEACHING KING products fit.

Published

CIL (Carbon In Leach) is a gold processing flow in which leaching and carbon adsorption take place inside the same tank train. This guide walks through the main stages in simple terms and shows where each VISION COMMERCE product works.

Stages of the flow

  1. 1

    Ore and preparation

    The ore is received and prepared for processing.

  2. 2

    Crushing and grinding

    The ore is reduced in size to liberate gold particles.

  3. 3

    Slurry preparation

    Ground ore is mixed with water to form the pulp.

  4. 4

    Leaching and adsorption together

    Inside the CIL tanks, LEACHING KING works on leaching while LEACHING KING ACTIVATED CARBON adsorbs the dissolved gold in the same tanks.

  5. 5

    Carbon separation

    The gold-loaded carbon is separated from the pulp.

  6. 6

    Recovery

    Gold is recovered from the loaded carbon to obtain the final product.
