Gold Recovery
ELITE GS
Coconut Granular Activated Carbon
• Elite GS45 • Elite GS50
• Elite GS55 • Elite GS60
Elite GS product is a coconut shell based granular activated carbon. It is manufactured by steam activation from selected
high-density and good hardness raw material. It is designed and optimized for gold recovery operations. Elite GS was developed
to be a consistent, cost-effective activated carbon that delivers the maximum performance required for gold recovery operations.
For gold recovery circuits, it is essential that the activated carbon employed provides excellent process performance,
minimal attrition loss and minimize maintenance problems. This results in a high resistance to attrition contributing to gold
losses in the circuit and consistently rapid loading
kinetics in the contacting phase.
