PSD-GOLD Premium Coconut Shell Activated Carbon for Gold Recovery

PSD-GOLD is a heavy-duty coconut shell granular activated carbon specifically developed for the harsh conditions of modern gold extraction processes, including Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) and Carbon-in-Leach (CIL). Manufactured from premium, high-density coconut shells through a specialized high-temperature activation process, it features an optimized macroporous structure for rapid gold cyanide complex adsorption, extreme mechanical strength and high abrasion resistance. It delivers excellent gold loading capacity, low attrition loss and stable performance through repeated regeneration cycles, making it the ideal choice for professional gold mining and refining operations.

Product Overview

PSD-GOLD is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern CIP/CIL gold processing plants, with a specialized manufacturing process that optimizes the macropore network to facilitate rapid diffusion and adsorption of large gold cyanide complex molecules. Unlike standard water treatment activated carbon, which has a predominantly microporous structure, PSD-GOLD's enhanced macropore structure ensures maximum contact between the carbon and gold cyanide complexes, delivering higher gold loading capacity and faster adsorption kinetics.

The high-density coconut shell matrix also provides extreme mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, enabling the carbon to withstand the intense mechanical shear of CIP/CIL agitators and slurry transport systems with minimal fines generation and attrition loss. This durability ensures stable performance through multiple adsorption and regeneration cycles, reducing operational costs and maximizing gold recovery for mining operations.

High-Strength Regenerable Coconut Shell Carbon for Gold Recovery

Made from premium coconut shells, PSD-GOLD is a specialized granular activated carbon purpose-built for gold extraction operations. Its optimized pore structure delivers high adsorption capacity for gold cyanide complexes, while exceptional mechanical strength resists particle breakdown during the continuous agitation of leaching circuits.

Engineered for CIP, CIL, and CIC processes, PSD-GOLD features low ash content and consistent purity to prevent interference with gold recovery efficiency. Its excellent regenerability enables multiple reuse cycles after standard regeneration treatments, helping mining operations reduce long-term material costs.

The 6-12 mesh particle size is tailored to balance fast gold adsorption kinetics with high attrition resistance, making it ideal for both small-scale and large-scale mining applications. Durable, cost-effective, and designed for repeated use, PSD-GOLD provides reliable, consistent performance throughout the gold recovery process.

FAQ

Q1: Why is coconut shell activated carbon preferred over coal-based carbon for gold recovery?

A: Coconut shell activated carbon has a naturally harder, denser structure and more uniform pore size distribution compared to coal-based carbon. In the violent, high-shear environment of CIP/CIL tanks, coconut shell carbon resists breaking down into fines much better than coal-based carbon, resulting in significantly lower gold losses from entrained fines and reduced carbon replacement costs.

Q2: How does PSD-GOLD's pore structure improve gold recovery?

A: Gold cyanide complexes are relatively large molecules that cannot easily access the small micropores of standard activated carbon. PSD-GOLD is engineered with an enhanced macropore network that is specifically sized to allow rapid diffusion and adsorption of these large gold cyanide complexes, maximizing the contact between the carbon and gold, and delivering higher gold loading capacity and faster adsorption kinetics.

Q3: Can you provide samples before bulk order?

A: Yes, samples can be given to you. Please contact us for details. Once we charge you the sample fee, please rest assured that this will be a refund when you place a formal order.

Q4: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

A: MOQ depends on product type. Please contact us for detailed information.

Q5: How long is the delivery time?

A: Normally 15-30 working days depending on order quantity and production schedule.
