Goldsorb 6000
GoldSorb® 6000 is a very high activity granular activated carbon manufactured by steam activation from carefully selected coconut shell charcoal. It is ideally suited for the recovery of precious metals in all forms of contactors providing good adsorption and elution characteristics. GoldSorb® 6000 exhibits a highly developed pore structure to give maximum adsorption while maintaining high product hardness. This results in a high resistance to attrition contributing to lower gold losses in the circuit and during regeneration. As a result, make-up requirements are minimized thus reducing the cost of operation.
