Abstract
The competitive adsorption of gold cyanide and potassium ethyl xanthate on activated carbon was studied. Single component isotherm experiments were performed and fitted to the Freundlich isotherm. Ethyl xanthate is shown to have a much higher loading capability than gold. Binary isotherm experiments were performed and fitted to a modified form of the Fritz and Schluender isotherm. The results show that small amounts of ethyl xanthate very significantly reduce the gold loading capability of the carbon.
