Selection guide
CTC activity indicates adsorption capability for carbon tetrachloride under a standard test, but plant selection should also consider actual gold-loading kinetics, solution chemistry, contact time, and competing adsorbates.
Strong coconut-shell granules help reduce fines and carbon losses during pumping, screening, elution, regeneration, and transfer. Hardness is especially important in continuously operated CIP and CIL circuits.
The listed CocoCARB gold-recovery grades use 6 x 12 mesh. Alternative sizes, including any request for 6 x 16 mesh, must be confirmed before quotation rather than assumed available.
For a useful recommendation and quotation, provide the gold-recovery process, current carbon grade, required mesh size, approximate consumption, order quantity, packaging preference, delivery location, and requested schedule. Product samples and technical documents are available for evaluation.
