Gold Loading Capacity

Capture More Gold per Unit of Carbon

Gold loading capacity describes how much gold an activated carbon can adsorb at equilibrium under defined test conditions. It is commonly evaluated through the K-Value, while activity indicators such as CTC and iodine number provide supporting information about pore development.

A higher loading capacity can support greater gold inventory on the carbon and may reduce the amount of carbon required to reach a defined loading target. However, K-Value is affected by the test solution and should be assessed together with adsorption rate, circuit residence time, and actual process chemistry.

YICARB Approach: The AU Series offers graduated activity levels from CTC 45% to 60%, enabling operators to select a carbon grade suited to their loading targets and circuit conditions.
