Features of Coconut Shell Gold Special Activated Carbon

1. Developed Micropores

Matex YG activated carbon, made from coconut shells, has a high concentration of micropores—pores smaller than 2 nanometers. These micropores are essential for adsorbing small molecules, such as impurities and contaminants found in water or air. The well-developed microporous structure allows for effective adsorption of fine particles, making this carbon ideal for specialized applications like gold recovery, where precision in capturing even small molecules is critical.

2. Large Specific Surface Area

This activated carbon has a very large specific surface area, which refers to the total surface area available for adsorption per unit mass of the material. A larger surface area means more active sites for capturing and holding contaminants or metals, such as gold. This feature enhances the carbon’s efficiency, allowing it to absorb a greater amount of material compared to lower surface area carbons, making it particularly effective in gold extraction processes.

3. High Strength

The high mechanical strength of Matex YG activated carbon means it is resistant to physical breakdown and wear. This durability is essential, especially in industrial applications like gold recovery, where the carbon undergoes vigorous mechanical and chemical processes. The high strength ensures that the carbon remains intact for longer periods, reducing loss from attrition and maintaining its adsorption capacity over multiple uses.

4. Low Ash Content

Low ash content indicates that Matex YG activated carbon contains minimal inorganic residues left over after the carbonization process. Ash can block the carbon’s pores and interfere with its adsorption capabilities. Low ash content ensures that the carbon’s pore structure remains open and available for adsorption, improving the overall efficiency in processes like gold recovery, where clean, unblocked pores are essential for trapping valuable particles.

5. Strong Adsorption Performance

Matex YG activated carbon is known for its powerful adsorption performance, meaning it can effectively capture and hold contaminants or precious metals like gold from a solution. This strong adsorption capability is due to its combination of high micropore concentration, large surface area, and low ash content, allowing it to bind tightly to a wide range of substances. In gold extraction, this ensures maximum recovery of the metal, increasing overall process efficiency.
