Gold Adsorption & Water Purification
Activated Carbon (Granular) (C)
CAS 7440-44-0
Low HazardMiningIndustrial
Technical Specifications
| Iodine Number | ≥1000 mg/g |
|---|---|
| Form | Granular (coconut-shell based) |
| CAS Number | 7440-44-0 |
| Mesh Size | 6 × 12 (typical) |
| Moisture | ≤5% |
Applications
- Carbon-in-pulp (CIP) gold recovery
- Carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuits
- Drinking water purification
- Air filtration
Technical Note
High-iodine-number coconut-shell carbon is preferred for gold adsorption due to its hardness and microporous structure.
Safety Warning
Low hazard. Dust is a nuisance irritant. Wet activated carbon depletes oxygen in confined spaces — ensure ventilation.
Logistics & Storage
Shipped in moisture-proof 25 kg bags or 500 kg bulk bags. Keep dry before use to maintain adsorption capacity.
