The Effect of Highly Saline Ground Water on the Gold Adsorbing Capacity of Ion-exchange Resins
The adsorption of gold cyanide by the weak base ion exchange resins, PAZ-4 and Duolite A-7C, the neutral polymeric adsorbent, Amberlite XAD7, and the strong base resins, PAZ-8~a and IRA-400 have been studied in both low and high salinity waters, and their performance compared with activated carbon. A systematic study has also been made of the effect of different ions (Na+, Cat+, Mgt+, Cl', SO4) ) on the gold adsorption capacity and kinetics of these resins. The results indicate that, contrary to popular belief, the ion exchange resin, can perform effectively in highly saline environments. The performance of the neutral polymeric adsorbent im- proves with increasing salinity but cannot match the performance of the ion-exchange resins.
