Lithium Carbonate

Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate, an inorganic compound, has its chemical formula represented as LiOH.H2O. It is a very useful chemical that is produced industrially from lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) in a metathesis reaction with Calcium hydroxide. An alternative route of industrial production involves the intermediacy of lithium sulfate. Its main byproducts are gypsum and sodium sulfate which have considerable market value. It is the weakest known alkali metal hydroxide but is classified as a strong base.

Activated Carbon is the general name assigned for a group of porous carbons. The appearance of activated Carbon depends considerably on the process used for the activation of Carbon. The product is typically charcoal black with varying mesh sizes.

Calcium Carbonate 99% is a chemical compound having the formula CaCO3. It is commonly found in rocks as the minerals calcite and aragonite. It is a very popular mineral in the earth.

The primary application of granular activated carbon mesh is evident in the process of cyanidation. Cyanidation is the metallurgical process for mining gold from ore that contains cyanide. The use of physical activation involves hot gases either through carbonization or oxidation. Granular activated Carbon has an appearance just like the name indicates with the higher surface area for adsorption. Activated Carbon is produced from sources enriched in Carbon. Therefore, the surface structure of activated Carbon is very porous, and it also has a vast surface area. The large surface area with porous structure and attraction forces help in capturing material components that could be recovered later.
