Xingsen coconut shell activated carbon is specifically manufactured from premium-grade coconut shells to meet the rigorous demands of the global gold mining industry. Through high-temperature steam activation, it develops a highly dense micro-pore structure, making it the most effective medium for capturing gold-cyanide complexes. Unlike coal-based carbon, our coconut-based product offers the mechanical strength required to withstand high-agitation environments, ensuring minimal gold loss through carbon fines.

| Key Parameter | Our Coconut Shell GAC | Typical Coconut Shell Carbon | Coal-Based Activated Carbon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw Material | High-quality coconut shell | Mixed coconut shell | Coal |
| Particle Size | 6×12 mesh (optimized for CIP/CIL) | 6×12 / 8×16 mesh | 6×12 mesh |
| Hardness (%) | ≥98% | 95–97% | 90–95% |
| Abrasion Loss (%) | ≤2% | 2–4% | 4–6% |
| Iodine Value (mg/g) | 950–1100 | 900–1000 | 800–950 |
| Ash Content (%) | ≤3% | 3–5% | 5–10% |
| Gold Adsorption Efficiency | High & Stable | Moderate | Lower |
| Service Life | Longer | Medium | Short |
| Regeneration Performance | Excellent | Moderate | Poor |
| Dust Generation | Low | Medium | High |
| Suitability for CIP/CIL | Highly Recommended | Acceptable | Limited |
For gold recovery applications, high hardness and low attrition are more critical than iodine value alone. A stable granular activated carbon with low ash content ensures longer service life, reduced carbon loss, and more efficient regeneration in CIP/CIL systems.
In gold recovery operations, low-quality activated carbon results in greater attrition loss, more frequent replacement, and unstable adsorption performance.
XingSen coconut shell granular activated carbon is engineered to minimize carbon loss and maximize gold recovery efficiency, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term mining operations.
Choosing a higher hardness granular activated carbon may seem more expensive initially, but it significantly reduces carbon loss and replacement frequency over time.
