Gold Recovery Activated Carbon

Activated carbon is essential in gold recovery, especially in mining and metallurgy. Its superior adsorption properties allow it to selectively capture and concentrate small amounts of gold from complex ore solutions. In processes like carbon-in-pulp (CIP) or carbon-in-leach (CIL), ground ore is mixed with a cyanide solution that dissolves the gold. The gold-laden solution is then passed through activated carbon, which traps the gold particles, effectively removing them from the solution. The captured gold is later recovered through heating or chemical treatments, making activated carbon a critical component in modern gold mining, ensuring both efficient and environmentally sustainable extraction.

Why Choose Our Activated Carbon?

  • Superior Adsorption Capacity: Our activated carbon features high surface area and optimized pore structure, ensuring maximum adsorption of gold particles from cyanide leach solutions.
  • High Hardness & Low Attrition: Engineered for durability, our activated carbon resists breakdown, minimizing losses during the adsorption-desorption-recovery (ADR) process and reducing fine carbon generation.
  • Purity & Performance: Free from impurities that could interfere with gold recovery, our carbon ensures consistent performance in harsh mining environments.
  • Faster Kinetics: Our activated carbon is designed for rapid adsorption, speeding up gold recovery cycles and improving operational efficiency.

Applications

  • CIL (Carbon-in-Leach) Process: Efficiently adsorb gold from the leach solution in large-scale mining operations.
  • CIP (Carbon-in-Pulp) Process: Maximize recovery by adsorbing dissolved gold from the slurry.
  • Heap Leaching: Optimized for use in gold heap leaching operations, ensuring uniform gold recovery across large surface areas.
