How to Order: From Inquiry to Delivery
Quick Answers From Our Factory Team
Are you a real factory or a trading company?
We are a manufacturer, not a trader. Our plant is at No. 52 Yanling West Road, Longyan, Fujian — 20+ years producing coconut shell activated carbon with dedicated gold-grade lines.
Which activated carbon is best for gold recovery?
Hard coconut shell GAC is the standard for CIP/CIL: fast gold loading, high capacity and low attrition through screening, elution and regeneration.
Coconut shell or coal-based carbon — which wins?
Coconut shell carbon loads gold faster and harder, so life-cycle cost is usually lower even when the per-ton price is higher — that is why most gold plants standardize on it.
What specs should gold CIP/CIL carbon meet?
Typically iodine 1000–1300 mg/g, hardness ≥98%, moisture ≤5%, low ash, in 6×12 mesh or 3×6 mm. Every batch ships with a COA.
Do you provide samples? What is the MOQ?
Yes — 500 g lab packs or 25 kg bags at cost, credited against your first order. Production MOQ is one 20 ft container; consolidated programs exist for African buyers.
How do I verify a Chinese activated carbon supplier?
Check the plant address, ask for a live video tour of the production line, and order a trial bag to test against the COA in your own lab.
How much does gold recovery carbon cost per ton?
Gold recovery grade coconut shell carbon typically runs $3,200–3,800 per tonne FOB China (iodine 950–1100, hardness ≥98%); coal-based is cheaper per ton but wears faster, so life-cycle cost favors coconut shell in CIP/CIL.
How long does shipping take from China to West Africa?
About 5–7 weeks door to port: 10–15 days production and QC, then 25–35 days sea freight to Tema, Abidjan or Dakar, plus trucking inland for Mali and Burkina Faso.
