An alternative low-cost adsorbent for gold recovery from cyanide-leached liquors: Adsorption isotherm and kinetic studies

Pristine Macadamia nutshell-based activated carbons were chemically oxidized with different concentrations of H 3 PO 4 and HNO 3 to increase their surface adsorption properties and further explore if they could be an attractive alternative low-cost adsorbent for gold recovery from cyanide-leached li...
