Gold Recovery
Gold Deserves Precision.
Optimized Activated Carbon for Maximum Recovery.
Optimized Activated Carbon for Maximum Recovery.
Carbonmax does not position gold recovery carbon on iodine or CTC alone; every grade is controlled for the combined balance of adsorption activity, mechanical strength, particle-size uniformity and low-fines performance required in real CIP/CIL/CIC and heap leach operations. Carbonmax coconut shell based gold recovery activated carbons are engineered for Carbon in Pulp (CIP), Carbon in Leach (CIL), Carbon in Column (CIC) and heap leach circuits where rapid adsorption, high mechanical strength and low carbon loss are essential for stable gold plant performance.
Process Applications
Carbon-In-Column
Carbon-In-Column recovers gold and silver from high-solids, complex heap leach solutions. This technique pumps gold-cyanide solution upward through sequential multiple fluidized bed columns. Contaminants settle out while activated carbon efficiently and rapidly adsorbs precious metals before elution and subsequent processing.
Carbon-In-Pulp
Carbon-In-Pulp grinds ore finely and solubilizes gold via cyanide leach in a tank series. Introduced activated carbon then promptly adsorbs dissolved gold particles. After adsorption, loaded carbon is separated for elution, yielding a consistently high gold recovery efficiency.
Carbon-In-Leach
Carbon-In-Leach merges cyanide leaching and carbon adsorption into seamless operation. Finely ground ore, cyanide solution and activated carbon interact simultaneously in leach tanks. Native organic carbon is overwhelmed by fresh carbon, ensuring efficient gold adsorption and preventing loss during recovery.
Heap Leach Circuits
Suitable for gold recovery from low-grade ores via heap leaching, where carbon columns or systems process large volumes of heap leach solutions efficiently.
What It Handles
- Rich & low-grade ores
- Preg-robbing ores
- High impurity content ores (copper, silver, lead, etc.)
Engineered to Deliver
- Superior Hardness (99 min): 99 hardness for strong resistance to attrition and reduced carbon loss in demanding gold recovery circuits.
- Balanced Adsorption: Balanced adsorption performance rather than single-parameter selection on iodine or CTC alone.
- Controlled Particle Size & Low Fines: Controlled particle size and low fines for better flow, easier screening and consistent circuit performance.
- Multi-Circuit Suitability: Suitable for evaluation in CIP, CIL, CIC and heap leach systems.
