Activated Carbon for Burkina Faso's Gold Mines
Short answer: Burkina Faso's gold mines (Essakane, Hounde, Boungou, Yaramoko, Sanbrado) run CIP/CIL circuits needing coconut shell activated carbon - 6x12 mesh, iodine 1000-1300, hardness 98%+. Factory-direct from China with COA per batch.
Dependable factory-direct coconut shell activated carbon for gold recovery plants across Burkina Faso — high hardness, fast gold loading and a COA on every batch.
A Fast-Growing Gold Producer — Supplied Without Interruption
Burkina Faso has risen to become one of Africa's leading gold producers, with large-scale CIP/CIL operations at Essakane, Houndé, Boungou, Yaramoko, Sanbrado and Karma, alongside a vibrant small-scale and artisanal sector. All of these operations need granular activated carbon delivered on schedule, at consistent quality.
- ✓ Coconut shell GAC, iodine 1000–1300, hardness ≥98%

Quality You Can Verify, Supply You Can Plan Around
Hardness for Harsh Duty
Carbon in Burkina's CIP/CIL circuits is screened, pumped and regenerated hard. Our ≥98% (up to 98%) hardness keeps attrition losses — and make-up cost — low.
Batch-Level Traceability
Every container ships with a COA for that exact lot: iodine, hardness, moisture, ash and sieve analysis. Third-party inspection welcomed.
Regional Logistics Experience
From container port to mine gate — 25 kg bags to 1-ton jumbo bags, shrink-wrapped pallets, full export documentation for West African customs.
