Buyer guide

What Is Activated Carbon?

Activated carbon is a highly porous material produced by heating carbon-rich feedstock such as coconut shell, coal or wood with steam or gas to create millions of microscopic pores. One gram of activated carbon has a surface area of roughly 800–1,500 m², enough to adsorb gold cyanide complexes, chlorine, VOCs and other contaminants from liquids and gases. YELI Carbon manufactures granular (GAC), powdered (PAC), extruded pellet (EAC) and honeycomb formats in Longyan, Fujian, China, with a COA issued for every batch.

Coconut Shell vs Coal vs Wood: Which Feedstock?

Coconut shell carbon is the hardest and densest, with a fine micro-pore structure that suits gold recovery — typical hardness 96–99% by the ball-pan method (ASTM D3802). Coal-based carbon is cheaper but softer (90–95% hardness) with a wider pore distribution, which means more attrition fines in a gold CIP circuit. Wood-based carbon is light and low-density, best for liquid-phase decolorization where mechanical strength matters less. For gold CIP/CIL duty, coconut shell is the industry standard; for general water and air treatment, coal and wood offer a cost-effective fit.
