Carbón activado para la eliminación de metales
Buy Metal Removal Activated Carbon
The environmental cleanup of water flows containing dissolved heavy metals (lead, mercury, copper, cadmium and arsenic) is often accomplished using activated carbon. Activated carbon is a remarkable filter medium because of its very porous internal structure with large surface area. This structure provided vast numbers of surface sites where adsorption can occur. The metal ions in solution are attracted to the surface of the carbon by physical adsorption, electrostatic attraction and sometimes chemisorption. Although “plain” activated carbon has some inherent capacity to remove metals, modifying or impregnating solid carbon can greatly enhance metal removal ability.
Retos del sector
Selectivity Constraints
- Activated Carbons have differing adsorption efficacy when removing various metals (e.g., improved removal of lead but low removal of copper/iron).
- Chemically modified MRAC concentrates its efficacy, but is ultimately also limited when treating complex multi-metal streams as in mixing mining effluents that contain gold, silver, zinc or nickel.
Competitive Interference
- Non-target ions (calcium, organic compounds) compete with heavy metals (cadmium, copper) for adsorption sites in industrial wastewater.
- pH fluctuations further disrupt binding stability and ion selectivity.
Regeneration Limitations
- Recovering precious metals (silver, gold-cyanide complexes) via acid washing is inefficient.
- Incomplete impurity removal (iron/calcium salts) and reduced metal recovery rates occur during regeneration cycles.
Material Degradation
- Repeated regeneration diminishes porosity and functional group effectiveness.
- Pore blockage from oils/organics or chemical degradation necessitates frequent carbon replacement.
Hazardous Waste Management
- Spent carbon loaded with toxic metals requires specialized hazardous waste disposal.
- Sustainable regeneration technologies remain underdeveloped, creating logistical and environmental burdens.

1. Precious Metal Recovery from Mining Wastewater
Resumen de la solución
Activated carbon adsorbs residual gold, silver, and other valuable metals from mineral processing wastewater (e.g., cyanide tailings). Parameters like carbon type, pH, and flow rate are optimized to maximize metal recovery.
Principales ventajas
- Selective adsorption: Targets low-concentration precious metals (e.g., 0.3 g/t gold) even in complex wastewater streams.
- Resource circularity: Transforms waste (e.g., tailings) into a metal resource, aligning with sustainable mining practices.
- Process flexibility: Tunable via carbon modification (e.g., acid-washed or OMC carbons) to enhance metal-binding capacity.
2. Heavy Metal Remediation in Acid Mine Drainage
Resumen de la solución
Acid-modified activated carbon treats Sb²⁺, As, and other heavy metals in mining-impacted soils or acidic pit water. A two-stage adsorption process at optimized pH (e.g., pH 5) immobilizes metals via surface complexation.
Principales ventajas
- Multi-metal capture: Simultaneously immobilizes Sb (up to 97%) and As (up to 67%) by suppressing Fe(III) reduction and DOM shuttling in flooded soils.
- Enhanced material properties: Acid modification increases surface area and acidic functional groups, improving adsorption kinetics.
