Granular Activated Carbon for Gold Extraction is a high activity granular activated carbon manufactured by steam activation from carefully selected coconut shell charcoal. It is ideally suited for the recovery of precious metals in all forms of contactors providing good adsorption and elution characteristics.
Granular Activated Carbon for Gold Extraction is a high activity granular activated carbon manufactured by steam activation from carefully selected coconut shell charcoal. It is ideally suited for the recovery of precious metals in all forms of contactors providing good adsorption
and elution characteristics. Granular Activated Carbon for Gold Extraction exhibits a highly developed pore structure to give optimum adsorption while maintaining high product hardness.
This results in a high resistance to attrition contributing to lower gold losses in the
circuit and consitently rapid loading kinetics in the contacting phase. As a result,
make-up requirements are minimized thus reducing the cost of operation.
