Gold Refining


Coconut shell activated carbon has long been recognized as one of the most effective materials for gold refining, particularly in modern methods like heap leaching and carbon-in-pulp (CIP) extraction. Thanks to its superior adsorption capacity and mechanical strength, coconut shell activated carbon is indispensable in efficiently capturing and recovering gold from low-grade ores, significantly improving the gold extraction process.

In heap leaching, the activated carbon is used to absorb gold from cyanide solutions as they percolate through heaps of ore. This method is ideal for large-scale, low-concentration operations. On the other hand, in CIP extraction, activated carbon is employed to absorb gold from gold-bearing slurry, providing a more concentrated and efficient recovery process. Both of these methods rely on the ability of activated carbon to adsorb gold from solution and separate it for further processing.

Why Coconut Shell Activated Carbon?
Our coconut shell activated carbon is crafted using high-quality coconut shells sourced from Southeast Asia, processed through advanced physical methods and high-temperature steam activation. This production process ensures that the carbon maintains uniform particle size, high mechanical strength, and exceptional adsorption capacity, all essential for gold recovery operations. Additional techniques, like water milling, are used to enhance wear resistance, ensuring that the activated carbon performs efficiently under harsh conditions, even in large-scale operations.

Performance Characteristics
Our coconut shell activated carbon is engineered to offer excellent performance with key characteristics such as:

Iodine value: Minimum of 950 mg/g, typically exceeding 1000 mg/g, ensuring a high surface area for gold adsorption.

Specific surface area: ≥1100 m²/g, ideal for maximizing adsorption efficiency.

Strength: ≥98%, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance.

Moisture content: ≤8%, which prevents degradation and optimizes efficiency.

Filling density: 0.45–0.50 T/m³, which facilitates efficient use in large-scale gold extraction processes.

Gold Recovery Efficiency
In laboratory studies, one ton of our coconut shell activated carbon can potentially recover up to 26 kg of gold under optimal conditions. However, it is important to note that actual recovery rates can vary depending on factors like ore quality and processing conditions. While the laboratory results provide a benchmark, real-world outcomes may differ. Despite this, our activated carbon has proven itself in numerous industrial applications, consistently delivering reliable and effective recovery results.
