MICOCO Gold™

In thirty years of manufacturing activated carbon, the question we are asked most often in water treatment and gold recovery is simple: what is the hardest, cleanest, highest-iodine coconut shell carbon you can supply? The answer has always been MICOCO Gold™.

Coconut shell activated carbon is produced by carbonising premium coconut shells and steam-activating the resulting char under precisely controlled kiln conditions. The result is a granular carbon with a dense micropore network, exceptional hardness, and some of the lowest ash content of any activated carbon type.

The dominance of micropores pores smaller than 2 nm makes coconut shell GAC ideal for capturing small molecules: chlorine, trihalomethanes, dissolved organics, taste and odour compounds, and gold complexes in mining circuits. Its hardness and low fines generation make it the preferred choice for regeneration-intensive applications where carbon losses compound over time.

Low ash. High hardness. Consistent batch to batch. These are not marketing claims they are the parameters our in-house lab verifies on every production run before a single bag is sealed.

Its superior adsorption efficiency, combined with excellent reactivation capability, allows coconut shell activated carbon to deliver longer operational life and lower replacement frequency across industrial systems. From potable water purification and pharmaceutical processing to gold recovery and air filtration, it remains the benchmark material where purity, performance, and process reliability cannot be compromised.
