5-10 Mesh & 6-12 Mesh Coconut Shell Gold Carbon | For CIP,CIL,CIC Gold Extraction
High-quality coconut shell gold activated carbon is the core adsorbent for cyanide gold extraction processes (CIP, CIL, CIC). 5-10 mesh and 6-12 mesh are the two most widely used grades for gold mines worldwide and are bestsellers of Guangyuan. Made from imported coconut shells from the Philippines and Indonesia, it is refined by high-temperature carbonization and steam activation. It features well-developed micropores and delivers excellent selective adsorption and elution performance for gold cyanide complexes.
5-10 mesh has larger particles with outstanding abrasion stability and low breakage loss. It suits mine conditions with strong pulp agitation and long circulation cycles, reduces gold loss caused by carbon fines, and is preferred for heavy-duty CIP and CIL production lines.
6-12 mesh is the mainstream grade in the industry. It has a larger specific surface area and faster adsorption rate, balancing abrasion resistance and gold loading capacity. It is compatible with most small, medium and large gold leaching lines and is the most frequently purchased grade by overseas mines. It is widely used in standard CIP and CIL processes, and also commonly selected for heap-leaching CIC column systems.
Guangyuan coconut shell gold carbon has hardness ≥98% and iodine value ranging from 1050–1200 mg/g. It has low ash content, uniform particle size, high strength and strong adsorption with stable gold extraction performance. Specifications can be customized according to the customer’s actual working conditions. Proper mesh selection helps improve gold recovery rate, reduce carbon consumption and operating costs, making it a key consumable for cost reduction and efficiency improvement in gold extraction.
