Simple Guide for Beginners in Gold Processing
In a CIP/CIL gold plant, activated carbon absorbs gold from the slurry. But how do we get the gold back from the carbon?
That’s where the High-Temperature High-Pressure Desorption Electrolysis System comes in.

What Does This System Do?
It removes gold from loaded carbon and turns it into solid gold sludge, ready for smelting.
Simply put:
Carbon holds the gold → The system releases it → Electrolysis collects it.
How It Works (Easy Explanation)
Loaded carbon is placed into the desorption column.
Hot solution is pumped through under high temperature and pressure.
Gold leaves the carbon and enters the liquid.
The liquid flows into electrowinning cells.
Gold is deposited onto steel wool as solid gold sludge.
The system then reuses the solution, making the process efficient and stable.
Why Use High Temperature & Pressure?
Gold comes off the carbon faster
Shorter working time
Higher recovery rate
More stable production
Main Benefits
✔ Higher gold recovery
✔ Faster processing cycle
✔ Automated and safe operation
✔ Energy-efficient design
✔ High-purity gold output
For beginners, just remember:
👉 This system is the final key step in a CIP/CIL plant.
👉 It takes gold from carbon and turns it into real, recoverable gold.
