Selection should compare activity, kinetic performance, hardness, abrasion loss, size distribution, ash and supplier consistency—not a single headline value. Plant trials remain essential.
Specify activated carbon for gold recovery
For a CIL or CIP enquiry, compare activated carbon against the plant acceptance specification. AU-IMX lists COCOCARB gold-grade activated carbon and coconut-shell activated carbon. Request documents for the proposed grade and assess activity, hardness, abrasion and particle-size distribution together. A general-purpose filtration label or a single headline value does not establish suitability for a gold-recovery circuit.
What to include in an activated carbon quotation request
- CIL or CIP application and the current approved carbon specification
- Required particle size and plant acceptance criteria
- Proposed grade data and batch certificate of analysis
- Trial quantity or regular shipment quantity and packaging requirements
- Receiving country, port or site and the requested delivery scope; grade documents and availability must be confirmed in the offer
Build the RFQ around evidence
Use test work, operating records, drawings, previous specifications or a procurement datasheet where possible. AU-IMX can structure the commercial discussion, but final technical suitability remains subject to the verified supplier documents and the buyer’s professional assessment.
