Coconut Shell GAC for Gold Recovery
Challenge
A gold mining operation in Ghana needed high-hardness coconut shell activated carbon for their CIL circuit. Previous supplier's carbon had low abrasion resistance, causing excessive losses during elution cycles.
Solution
Premium ACF-Gold19 coconut shell GAC (6×12 mesh) with iodine value 1100+ mg/g and hardness 98.5%+. Free samples for pilot testing before full production.
Results
- • Gold loading capacity increased by 12%
- • Carbon loss rate reduced from 15% to under 5%
- • Client placed repeat orders within 1 year

Coal-Based GAC for Municipal Drinking Water
Challenge
A municipal water treatment plant in Saudi Arabia was expanding capacity for a new 200,000 m³/day filtration system. Required consistent iodine value across batches and full documentation.
Solution
ACF-GC950 coal-based GAC (8×30 mesh) with iodine 950 mg/g, produced under ISO 9001 system with batch-by-batch QC reports and SGS test reports.
Results
- • Residual chlorine removal rate >98%
- • Consistent quality across 4 shipments
- • Passed third-party lab verification first attempt

Coal Pellet AC for Biogas Desulfurization
Challenge
An Italian biogas plant processing agricultural waste needed activated carbon pellets for H₂S removal. Existing media reached saturation too quickly, requiring frequent replacement.
Solution
KOH-impregnated coal-based pellet carbon (4mm diameter, CTC 60%) specifically designed for H₂S adsorption. Higher impregnation ratio extends service life significantly.
Results
- • Service life extended by 40%
- • Annual replacement cost reduced by ~€15,000
