How much gold can activated carbon absorb?

Activated carbon products are valuable in the mining industry and are integral to various processes. Gold recovery is a crucial element, and currently, most gold mining operations rely solely on this method for recovery. We have developed specialized activated carbon specifically for the gold mining industry, specifically designed to extract more gold from even gold-bearing ores. Most gold mines around the world have transitioned to activated carbon-based gold recovery systems and discontinued chemical extraction.

The gold adsorption capacity of activated carbon varies depending on a variety of factors, including the type of activated carbon used, its surface area, its pore structure, the concentration of gold in the solution, and the specific conditions of the gold recovery process. Generally, activated carbon, due to its high surface area and porous structure, can adsorb large amounts of gold per unit weight.

The gold adsorption capacity of activated carbon is often measured by its loading capacity or K value, which refers to the amount of gold adsorbed per unit weight of activated carbon. This loading capacity varies widely and is affected by the characteristics of the activated carbon and the conditions during the adsorption process.

In practical applications within the gold mining industry, activated carbon can effectively adsorb several grams of gold per ton of carbon. However, the exact amount can vary depending on the specific type of activated carbon, the concentration of gold in the solution, the contact time between the carbon and the gold-bearing solution, and other process parameters.

Optimizing conditions and selecting the appropriate type of activated carbon with the correct characteristics are crucial to maximizing gold adsorption capacity during the gold recovery process.

Guangyuan Carbon utilizes state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and the right materials to ensure activated carbon with the highest K values, indicating high adsorption capacity, as well as good adsorption rates. Furthermore, our activated carbon products are made from pure, natural coconut shell material, which has a high inherent strength, contributing to the highest wear resistance. This provides the activated carbon material with sufficient strength to withstand breakage and the washing away of gold adsorbed within the activated carbon, which can lead to significant gold loss.
