A novel procedure was used to study the kinetics of multiple exposure of a granular activated carbon in a laboratory‐scale packed bed to solutions containing gold and sodium cyanide, or in addition one of several organic reagents commonly used in mineral processing. The repeated use of a carbon sample simulated the practice in industrial gold recovery operations. A batch, unsteady state adsorption model which assumed constant intraparticle diffusivity of Au(CN) 2 ‐ was used to model the kinetics of gold uptake. Upon repeated exposure of a carbon sample, up to a 3‐ to 4‐fold decrease in the intraparticle diffusivity of Au(CN) 2 ‐ was observed, combined with a much smaller loss of adsorption capacity.
