Gold Industry

Historically, the extraction of gold relied on a highly pollutive and hazardous method involving Mercury. However, in the 1970s, when the new CIP (Carbon-in-Pulp) and CIL (Carbon-in-Leach) methods were developed, Aksoy Kimya Group emerged as a pioneering supplier of Activated Carbon for gold extraction from ore. Our expertise in producing technically superior Activated Carbons for gold extraction over five decades has positioned us as a dominant and preferred supplier in the industry.

In today’s gold mining operations, efficiency and output are optimized using Aksoy Kimya Group’s Gold Recovery Carbon. Our high-density Carbons, renowned for their consistent activity and shape from particle to particle, are the ideal solution for applications in CIL, CIP, and CIC (Carbon-in-Column) processes. To minimize Gold loss in the circuit, especially due to Carbon particle breakdown, Aksoy Kimya Group predominantly offers microporous coconut shell-based Activated Carbons. These Carbons exhibit intrinsic hardness and excellent attrition resistance, designed to have very low platelet and soft particle content. As a result, our Carbons deliver superior adsorption kinetics with very high gold adsorption rates and capacities.

Operating from our suppliers and subsidiaries strategically located around the world, Vista Zenith has established itself as a long-term supplier to large gold mining companies globally.

1-Carbon for CIP/CIL/CIC: Aksoy Kimya Group’s Activated Carbon plays a pivotal role in gold mining, optimizing efficiency and gold recovery in CIP (Carbon-in-Pulp), CIL (Carbon-in-Leach), and CIC (Carbon-in-Column) processes. Vista Zenith offers a range of coconut shell-based Activated Carbons specially designed for CIP/CIL/CIC processes, characterized by their exceptional hardness and resistance to abrasion. These unique attributes of Aksoy Kimya Group’s Activated Carbon products ensure that the carbon particles remain intact during the vigorous agitation steps within the circuits, preventing any subsequent loss of Gold. With higher capacity and an optimum particle size, these products provide superior adsorption performance and enhanced Gold capacity in the process.

Aksoy Kimya Group’s products are meticulously manufactured under controlled kiln conditions and follow post-activation processes to ensure a consistent particle size distribution. This process guarantees the absence of flaky particles, minimum platelet content, an optimal pore network for adsorption, long-lasting activity, and exceptionally high gold adsorption kinetics and gold loading capacity. This results in an effective and efficient adsorption process.

2-Carbon for Heap Leach: Aksoy Kimya Group offers high-density Activated Carbon products designed for heap leach processes, featuring exceptional hardness, abrasion resistance, and gold adsorption kinetics. Heap leaching technology plays a vital role in the extraction of Gold from natural ore deposits. Aksoy Kimya Group provides tailor-made, coconut shell-based Activated Carbon specifically designed for the heap leach Gold extraction process.

These Carbon products exhibit exceptional hardness and resistance to abrasion, along with very high and long-lasting Gold adsorption kinetics and gold loading capacity. This ensures an effective and efficient adsorption process. Aksoy Kimya Group has earned its reputation as a dominant and preferred supplier to some of the world’s premier mines, a testament to our commitment to superior products and total quality assurance.
