Classification Introduction

Activated carbon plays a pivotal role in the metal mining industry, serving as a highly efficient and selective adsorption medium for the extraction and purification of precious and base metals. Its extensive surface area and microporous structure make it indispensable in modern hydrometallurgical processes. Primarily utilized in gold recovery through Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) and Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) circuits, activated carbon efficiently extracts gold cyanide complexes from ore slurries. Furthermore, it is increasingly employed for the targeted removal and recovery of other metals from process streams and wastewaters, aiding in environmental compliance and resource optimization. This page details how our robust and high-performance activated carbon solutions enhance operational efficiency and profitability in demanding mining applications.

Specific Scenario Details

Gold Recovery

In CIP/CIL circuits, our activated carbon efficiently adsorbs the gold-cyanide complex from ore pulp. Its high gold loading capacity and superior mechanical strength maximize recovery rates and minimize carbon losses in these abrasive environments.

Metal Removal

Our specialized activated carbons are used to remove and often recover specific heavy metals like copper, zinc, or cobalt from pregnant leach solutions and wastewaters, ensuring regulatory compliance and enabling water reuse.
