Currently, activated carbon acts like a sponge to aurocyanide and other complex ions in solution. Hard carbon particles (much larger than the ore particle sizes) can be mixed with the ore and cyanide solution mixture. The gold cyanide complex is adsorbed onto the carbon until it comes to an equilibrium with the gold in solution. Because the carbon particles are much larger than the ore particles, the coarse carbon can then be separated from the slurry by screening using a wire mesh.

Pharmaceutical
The Eco Carbon powder may be used in helping to clear stomach upsets, particularly poison ingestion.

Food Purification and Colouring

Eco Carbon beads can also be used in the purification and colouring of foods. There are other applications within the chemical industry too numerous to list here.
