Activated Carbon CTC55 8 x 16 Mesh

Chemical Appearance: Activated carbon is a general term for a group of porous carbons. The appearance of activated carbon largely depends on the activation process of the carbon. The product is typically black in color and has varying pore sizes.

Chemical Uses and Strength: The primary use of granular activated carbon is evident in the gasification process. Cyanidation is a metallurgical process used to extract gold from ores containing cyanide.

Physical activation involves generating a hot gas through carbonization or oxidation. The appearance of granular activated carbon, as the name suggests, has a high adsorption surface area.

Activated carbon is produced from carbon-rich sources, resulting in a highly porous surface structure and a tremendous surface area. The porous structure and large surface area with attractive forces aid in capturing material components that can be later recovered.

The chemical strength of activated carbon makes it an ideal choice for gold extraction. Additionally, activated carbon has reliable applications in removing pollutants from gases and liquids. It is used for purifying water and removing contaminants from gases in various industrial processing facilities.

The application of activated carbon in the gold extraction process typically involves introducing it directly into CIL (carbon-in-leach) or CIP (carbon-in-pulp) tanks after leaching. The contaminated gold comes into contact with the activated carbon, and the gold is then adsorbed onto the activated carbon.

Coconut shell-based granular activated carbon is less prone to wear due to its hardness. Furthermore, higher levels of activity assist in easier adsorption of gold.
