Estimation of gold inventory in large carbon in leach tanks
However the preparation of a gold production report is often complicated by the large inventory of gold in the carbon in pulp (CIP) or carbon in leach (CIL) tanks used to adsorb leached gold from the solution. Indeed a 600 CIP/CIL loaded with 15 g/L of activated coal charged with 8000 g of gold/ton of coal may retain up to 72 000.
