Activated Carbon Applications
Activated carbon is essential in gas scrubbing, removing harmful impurities, enhancing efficiency, and protecting equipment and the environment.
It improves amine solution quality, prevents mercury contamination, enhances condensate value, and supports efficient gas separation in PSA. It also aids hydrocarbon sweetening, protects boiler systems, purifies gas and air, and maximizes vapor recovery. These applications ensure gas purity, optimize processes, and meet regulatory standards.
Gold Recovery Techniques:
Carbon-in-Column (CIC)
Involves ore being leached, usually via heap-leach, and the clarified solution being passed through a column containing carbon.
Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP)
Entails pulp being leached in a column, followed by the mixing of leached pulp and solution with carbon columns.
Carbon-in-Leach (CIL)
Carbon-in-Leach (CIL): Combines leaching with adsorption, skipping the stages that involve only leaching.

Key Features of CG’s Activated Carbon Products:
Amine Solution Purification
Organic matter, a complex mixture of natural and synthetic compounds, can cause taste and odour problems, contribute to colour, and interfere with other treatment processes. Activated carbon is a versatile adsorbent for removing a wide range of organic compounds from water
Mercury Removal
Chlorine, a common disinfectant in water treatment, can impart an unpleasant taste and odour to water. Moreover, it can react with organic matter to form disinfection by products (DBPs), some of which are carcinogenic. Activated carbon is highly effective in removing residual chlorine from water
Field Condensate Purification
Organic matter, a complex mixture of natural and synthetic compounds, can cause taste and odour problems, contribute to colour, and interfere with other treatment processes. Activated carbon is a versatile adsorbent for removing a wide range of organic compounds from water
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA)
Chlorine, a common disinfectant in water treatment, can impart an unpleasant taste and odour to water. Moreover, it can react with organic matter to form disinfection by products (DBPs), some of which are carcinogenic. Activated carbon is highly effective in removing residual chlorine from water

The alchemy of Gas Scrubbing
While ancient civilizations relied on rudimentary techniques to separate gold from rock, today’s mining industry has mastered the science of extraction. The carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-leach (CIL) processes stand at the forefront of innovation, using activated carbon to pull gold from its ore.
The journey of Gas Scrubbing
Crushing and Grinding: The gold-bearing ore undergoes crushing and grinding to break it into fine particles, increasing the surface area for chemical interactions. Leaching Process: A cyanide solution is introduced, dissolving gold into a liquid state to create a gold-cyanide complex. Adsorption onto Carbon: Here’s where carbon steps in—activated carbon is added to the mix, acting like a sponge that attracts and traps gold particles onto its porous surface. Elution Process: The gold-laden carbon is then separated and treated with a heated caustic solution to strip the precious metal from the carbon.

Why Carbon is the Secret Ingredient
Superior Adsorption Capacity: With its vast surface area, activated carbon efficiently captures even the smallest gold particles. Economic Advantage: The process reduces costs by maximizing gold recovery while minimizing waste. Reusability & Sustainability: Carbon can be reactivated and reused multiple times, making it an eco-friendly option in the mining industry. Minimizing Environmental Impact: By aiding in efficient extraction, carbon helps reduce the excessive use of chemicals, promoting responsible mining practices.
Overcoming Challenges in Carbon Usage
Before dive in further, it’s crucial to grasp the geography of
major sea routes that intricately link the entire globe. Among these, the Suez Canal and the Strait of
Hormuz emerge as vital connectors.
Many articles are surfacing, reporting that shipping companies have raised freight rates and insurance prices due to pirate’s attacks in the region. This surge in costs has significantly increased the expenses associated with product delivery. Exporters are now urging delivery companies to consider opting for product insurance, all of which is a consequence of a recent Houthi rebel attack. Houthi fighters hijacked a British-owned and Japanese-operated ship in the Red Sea on November 19. In response, the US and the UK have conducted strikes on Houthi bases in Yemen, as the group repeatedly targeted ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis, an Iran-backed rebel group that considers Israel an enemy, possess high-end drones and missiles, using them to attack more than a dozen cargo ships passing through the Suez Canal.
In addition to these challenges, Somali Pirates are notorious for hijacking ships in their path, causing great loss of both life and goods. In light of these security concerns, major shipping companies have ceased using the Red Sea, through which almost 15% of global seaborne trade usually passes and are opting for a much longer route around southern Africa instead, moreover, ships opting for longer routes incur higher fuel costs and longer delivery times, adding further financial strain to both buyer and consumer.
