    Carbon-in-pulp (CIP) is a sequential process where gold-bearing ore is leached with cyanide and oxygen to dissolve the gold, then the gold-containing solution passes through tanks of activated carbon which absorbs the gold. Carbon-in-leach (CIL) simultaneously leaches and absorbs gold to minimize loss from ores containing materials that can absorb gold before it reaches the carbon.

    Carbon-in-Pulp

    Carbon-in-pulp (CIP) is the sequential leach then absorption of gold from ore. During the CIP stage, pulp flows through several agitated tanks where sodium cyanide and oxygen have been added to dissolve gold into solution. In the absorption stage, this solution flows through several agitated tanks containing activated carbon. Gold absorbs onto the activated carbon, which flows countercurrent to the pulp, while screens separate the barren pulp from the gold-loaded carbon. [1]

    Carbon-in-Leach
    Carbon-in leach (CIL) is a simultaneous leach and absorption process. The simultaneous leach and absorption phases of the CIL process were developed for processing gold ores that contain preg-robbing materials such as natural absorptive carbon. These reduce the gold yield by attracting gold meant for the activated carbon. Simultaneous leaching and absorption help minimize the problem. [1]
