Gold recovery efficiency is determined not only by the leaching process but also by the performance of activated carbon.
In CIP, CIL, and CIC systems, low-quality carbon can lead to:
To address these issues, coconut shell activated carbon is widely used in gold recovery due to its high hardness and well-developed micropore structure.
Our coconut shell activated carbon is specifically designed for gold recovery applications, offering high hardness, optimized pore structure, and stable adsorption performance.
Activated carbon is used to adsorb gold-cyanide complexes from leach solutions.
In industrial mining, three main processes are used:
The adsorption efficiency depends on:
Choosing the right carbon is critical. Below are the key parameters:
| Parameter | Value |
| Particle Size | 6×12 / 8×16 mesh |
| Iodine Value | ≥ 900 mg/g |
| Hardness | ≥ 97% |
| Ash Content | ≤ 3% |
| Moisture | ≤ 5% |
High hardness = less carbon loss
Proper size = better adsorption + easier separation
Compared with coal-based carbon, coconut shell carbon offers:
This makes it the preferred choice in most gold mining operations.
We offer a full range of activated carbon for gold recovery:
Suitable for mining projects, refineries, and EPC contractors
When selecting carbon for gold recovery, consider:
If you’re unsure, our technical team can recommend the best solution based on your system.
Coconut shell activated carbon is generally preferred due to its high hardness and adsorption performance.
Typically, 6×12 mesh or 8×16 mesh.
It depends on regeneration conditions, but high-quality carbon can be reused multiple times.
Low hardness and high attrition rate are the main reasons.
Coconut shell carbon offers better performance but at a higher cost.
