Gold Recovery
Activated Carbon

Ultra-hard coconut shell carbon engineered for maximum gold loading in CIL/CIP processes. Trusted by mines worldwide.

Product Overview

Our gold recovery carbon is manufactured from premium coconut shells using a proprietary high-temperature steam activation process. The result is an exceptionally hard carbon (>97% hardness) with optimized pore structure for maximum gold-cyanide complex adsorption.

With gold loading capacity exceeding 30 mg/g and abrasion resistance above 80%, our carbon minimizes losses during the harsh CIL/CIP process environment. The 6×12 mesh size is the global standard for gold recovery operations, providing optimal balance between gold loading kinetics and screening efficiency.

Key Applications

  • Carbon-in-Leach (CIL)
  • Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP)
  • Carbon-in-Column (CIC)
  • Heap leach gold recovery
  • Gold elution & reactivation
  • Silver recovery
  • Platinum group metals recovery
  • Cyanide solution purification

Frequently Asked Questions

What mesh size for gold recovery?
6×12 mesh is the global standard for CIL/CIP processes. It provides optimal balance between gold loading kinetics and screening efficiency. 8×16 mesh is used in some CIC applications.
What hardness is needed for gold mining?
Minimum 95%, ideally &gt;97%. Higher hardness minimizes carbon loss in the abrasive slurry environment of CIL/CIP tanks. Our gold carbon consistently exceeds 97% hardness.
How much gold can the carbon load?
Our gold recovery carbon has a gold loading capacity exceeding 30 mg/g under standard test conditions. Actual loading depends on cyanide concentration, pH, temperature, and contact time.
Can the carbon be reactivated?
Yes, spent gold carbon is typically eluted (stripped of gold) and then thermally reactivated at 650-750°C. Our carbon maintains performance through multiple reactivation cycles due to its high hardness.
What is the MOQ?
MOQ is 3 tons. We can provide 50kg trial samples for plant testing. Ongoing supply contracts with quarterly shipments available.
