Activated Carbon
Coconut Shell-Based Activated Carbon for Gold Recovery
Engineered for CIP, CIL and CIC operations, combining high gold adsorption capacity with superior mechanical hardness and low attrition loss.
Coconut shell activated carbon granules
Manufactured from Premium Coconut Shell
Our activated carbon is manufactured from coconut shell and processed to develop a wide pore-size distribution and high surface area, supporting strong adsorption performance across gold-recovery and industrial applications.
The combination of high hardness and controlled particle sizing helps reduce carbon losses during handling, elution and regeneration, supporting efficient, dependable operation in continuous processing circuits.
Suited to CIP, CIL and CIC Processing
High hardness and an optimal pore structure support efficient gold recovery with minimal carbon losses across the principal gold-processing methods.
CIP — Carbon-in-Pulp
Activated carbon added directly to the leached pulp to adsorb dissolved gold.
CIL — Carbon-in-Leach
Leaching and adsorption take place concurrently within the same circuit.
CIC — Carbon-in-Column
Pregnant solution is passed through columns of activated carbon for gold recovery.
Adsorption, Hardness and Pore Structure
Adsorption Performance
Wide pore-size distribution supports strong gold adsorption capacity.
Mechanical Hardness
Minimum 99% ball pan hardness resists breakdown through handling and regeneration.
Pore Structure
Controlled activation develops a pore structure suited to gold-complex adsorption.
Particle Sizing
Consistent mesh grading across granular and powdered formats.
