## Description

You can now run complex gold recovery calculations directly within your AI client. This MCP handles the heavy lifting for carbon adsorption circuit design, moving you from raw process parameters to a complete engineering model. Instead of manually solving for mass balance or vessel volumes, you ask your agent to run the numbers. 

It covers the full spectrum of circuit design. You can determine the exact mass of activated carbon needed for a specific throughput or size your adsorption tanks based on contact time and holdup. The tools also handle the kinetic side of the process, such as calculating how fast you need to replenish carbon to keep the circuit efficient. If you need to model how much gold will actually stick to your carbon at equilibrium, the isotherm modeling tools provide those predictions. It is a specialized toolkit for mining engineers who want to move faster from concept to technical specification.

## Tools

### calculate_advance_rate
This tool calculates the replenishment or movement speed required to keep your carbon circuit running at peak efficiency.

### calculate_carbon_inventory
Use this to find the total mass of activated carbon your circuit needs to operate.

### design_tank_dimensions
This tool determines the physical volume and sizing required for your adsorption vessels.

### predict_isotherm_loading
This tool models gold uptake to predict how much gold will be on the carbon at equilibrium for a specific concentration.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```

```

**Response:** 
```
The required carbon inventory is 50 kg with a safety factor of 1.2, totaling 60 kg of carbon.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What size tank is needed for 50 m3/h throughput with a 2-hour contact time and 40% carbon holdup?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required total tank volume is 250 m3, consisting of 150 m3 of solution and 100 m3 of carbon.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the gold loading for a feed concentration of 2 mg/L with an isotherm constant of 0.5.
```

## How It Works

You connect your AI client to the Vinkius hosted MCP and start running engineering queries.

1. Connect your client like Claude or Cursor to the Vinkius platform.
2. Provide your process parameters like throughput, concentration, or contact time.
3. The AI invokes the specific engineering tool needed for the calculation.
4. Your agent receives the calculated results and presents them in your chat.
