Zusammenfassung:The invention provides an installation for recovering metal values from a pulp or leach solution by carbon-in-pulp or resin-in-pulp adsorption, comprising a number of adsorption cells. Each cell comprises a container having an inlet and an outlet, a screen disposed between the inlet and the outlet, and an impeller adapted to force liquid entering the container via the inlet through the screen and out of the outlet. The installation includes a conduit for feeding a metal-laden pulp or leach solution to each adsorption cell selectively. The supply of the pulp or leach solution to a selected cell can be interrupted for removal of metal-laden carbon or resin from the cell. The same conduit returns the loan pulp or leach solution from each cell to a further adsorption cell.
