Precious Metal Recovery
Activated carbon is crucial in mining applications.
Activated carbon is essential in gold recovery, playing a key role in the CIC, CIL, and CIP processes.
As a leading manufacturer of activated carbon specialized for the gold mining industry and precious metals recovery, we serve some of the world's largest mining companies.
Mining operations need to sustain high output despite decreasing supplies of high-quality ore. Plants must manage operating costs while adhering to environmental regulations. Recovery rates, plant performance, and dependable supply chains can significantly impact profitability.
High-quality activated carbon is crucial for gold extraction. Utilizing activated carbon with optimal hardness reduces fines and enhances gold recovery.
By improving the efficiency of your gold recovery process, Carbon Activated products and services help protect your profitability.

Use the Best Carbon for Optimal Recovery
The true measure of activated carbon is its ability to maintain its properties over extended periods of use and regeneration. By utilizing the most durable coconut feedstock, we ensure our activated carbon withstands the rigorous carbonization and activation processes, consistently delivering high-quality performance for gold extraction.
We produce products extensively used in Carbon in Column (CIC), Carbon in Pulp (CIP), and Carbon in Leach (CIL) processes.
Safeguarding the recovery of precious metals requires the highest standards of safety. Our activated carbon is crafted from premium coconut shells, known for their exceptional carbonaceous hardness.
The carbonization and activation processes endow our carbon with long-lasting properties, crucial for continuous regeneration in gold recovery circuits. A low attrition rate in the absorption circuit directly enhances gold recovery efficiency.
