The extraction and refining of precious metals, particularly gold, is a cornerstone of many global industries. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. sheds light on a crucial, yet often overlooked, component in this process: activated carbon. Specialized forms of activated carbon, such as those designed for gold extraction activated carbon applications, play a pivotal role in efficiently recovering gold from ore slurries.

The most common method utilizing activated carbon for gold recovery is the Carbon-In-Pulp (CIP) and Carbon-In-Leach (CIL) processes. In these methods, finely powdered or granular activated carbon is introduced into a slurry containing gold-bearing ore. The activated carbon, with its vast porous surface area, selectively adsorbs dissolved gold cyanide complexes from the slurry. The key to success in these applications lies in the properties of the activated carbon itself – its high adsorption capacity for gold, its resistance to abrasion, and its ability to be easily stripped of the adsorbed gold.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. offers activated carbon products that are optimized for these demanding conditions. Our extruded cylindrical pellets activated carbon, when appropriately prepared, can be highly effective in gold recovery circuits. The selection of the right activated carbon is critical; factors such as particle size, pore size distribution, and the presence of specific surface functional groups all influence its performance in adsorbing gold. The goal is to maximize the amount of gold captured per unit of carbon, thereby improving the overall economics of the extraction process.

Beyond the initial extraction, activated carbon also finds use in the refining stages. It can be employed to remove impurities from electroplating baths or to purify solutions containing precious metals, ensuring the final product meets the highest standards of purity. The consistent quality and performance of activated carbon from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. make it a reliable partner for precious metal extraction and refining operations worldwide, contributing to the efficient and responsible utilization of valuable resources.
