The Carbon in Pulp (CIP) process is a widely used gold extraction method in the mining industry. This article explains the complete workflow based on a standard CIP flow chart, starting from raw ore crushing using jaw and cone crushers, followed by ball mill grinding and spiral classification. The qualified pulp enters a thickener for pre-concentration, then moves through pre-leaching and multiple adsorption tanks where activated carbon captures dissolved gold. Loaded carbon is sent to smelting to produce high-purity gold (GOLD9999). The tailings are filtered by a pressure filter, and backwater is recycled to minimize environmental impact. The CIP process eliminates the need for solid-liquid separation before adsorption, offering high recovery rates and efficient water reuse. This guide is ideal for metallurgists, mining engineers, and investors seeking a clear understanding of CIP gold processing.
