Cyrus Procurement & Logistic Solutions Pty ltd

Sustainably Sourced | Processed in Southern Africa | Trusted by Gold Refineries

At Cyrus Procurement & Logistics (Cyrus PLS), we supply high-quality Coconut Shell Activated Carbon (CSAC) – Gold Recovery Grade, produced from sustainably collected coconut by-products in Mozambique and processed into premium biochar and activated carbon for industrial and environmental applications.

Our vertically integrated supply chain spans raw material collection, cross-border logistics, kiln processing, activation, and final distribution to South African gold refineries and industrial users. This ensures consistent quality, traceability, and reliable supply.

Sustainable Collection of Coconut Shells & Coco Peat in Mozambique

Mozambique produces significant volumes of coconut waste from coastal agriculture, local markets, and processing activities. Instead of allowing this biomass to go to landfill or be burned, Cyrus PLS sources coconut shells and coco peat from local communities and suppliers across coastal Mozambique.

Our responsible sourcing model supports:

• Local agricultural value chains
• Waste reduction and circular economy principles
• Sustainable livelihoods in rural and coastal communities
• Reduced environmental impact from open burning of biomass

Collected coconut shells and coco peat are consolidated at regional hubs before being transported via our logistics network to South Africa.

Importation & Processing in South Africa

Once imported into South Africa under compliant customs and environmental regulations, the coconut biomass is transported to a high-temperature biochar kiln facility, where it undergoes controlled pyrolysis.

From Coconut Shell to Activated Carbon

The process includes:

1. Drying & preparation of coconut shells
2. Pyrolysis in a specialized biochar kiln to create raw biochar
3. Steam or chemical activation to develop microporous structure
4. Screening and grading to gold-recovery specifications
5. Quality testing for hardness, pore volume, and adsorption efficiency

The result is Coconut Shell Activated Carbon – Gold Recovery Grade, designed specifically for the mining and refining sector.

Coconut Shell Activated Carbon for Gold Recovery

We supply Coconut Shell Activated Carbon (CSAC) to gold mining operations and refineries that utilize carbon adsorption processes, including:

CIP – Carbon in Pulp

Activated carbon is added directly to the pulp slurry, where it adsorbs dissolved gold cyanide complexes. Coconut shell carbon is preferred due to:

• High surface area
• Excellent adsorption kinetics
• Strong mechanical durability
• Low ash content

CIL – Carbon in Leach

In CIL systems, leaching and adsorption occur simultaneously. Coconut shell activated carbon performs exceptionally well in this process due to its:

• Superior gold loading capacity
• Resistance to attrition
• Efficient stripping and regeneration performance

CIC – Carbon in Column

For operations using column adsorption, our coconut shell activated carbon offers:

• Consistent particle size distribution
• Optimized pore structure for rapid gold uptake
• Long operational lifespan before replacement

Our product meets industry expectations for Gold Recovery Grade Activated Carbon, making it a reliable choice for large-scale and artisanal mining operations alike.

Why Coconut Shell Activated Carbon?

Compared to coal-based activated carbon, coconut shell carbon offers:

• Higher hardness and lower breakage
• Better adsorption efficiency
• Lower impurity levels
• More environmentally sustainable origin
• Longer usable life before replacement

Coco Biochar for Agriculture & Environmental Applications

Beyond gold recovery, coconut biochar is an increasingly valuable material in sustainable agriculture and environmental remediation.

Benefits of Coconut Biochar in Agriculture

Coco biochar enhances soil health and productivity by:

• Improving soil structure and aeration
• Increasing water retention in sandy soils
• Enhancing nutrient retention and reducing fertilizer leaching
• Promoting beneficial microbial activity
• Reducing soil acidity and improving pH balance
• Sequestering carbon and reducing greenhouse gas emissions

It is particularly beneficial for:

• Coastal agriculture
• Sandy soils
• Drought-prone regions
• High-value crops such as citrus, avocados, and macadamias

Coconut Biochar for Water Purification

Activated coconut biochar is also highly effective in water treatment and filtration systems.

Key applications include:

• Removal of organic contaminants
• Adsorption of heavy metals
• Elimination of odors and impurities
• Industrial wastewater treatment
• Municipal water purification systems

Coconut shell activated carbon is widely recognized as one of the best filtration media due to its microporous structure and high adsorption capacity.

Coco Peat for Sustainable, High-Performance Agriculture

Coco peat is rapidly becoming one of the most valuable and sustainable growing media in modern agriculture.

Derived from the fibrous husk of coconuts, this natural, renewable substrate offers farmers and growers a cleaner, more efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional soil amendments.

Lightweight yet highly absorbent, coco peat improves water retention, enhances root development, and creates an optimal aerated environment for plants to thrive.

Ideal for greenhouse production, hydroponics, seed propagation, and field crop conditioning, coco peat supports healthier plants, stronger yields, and more sustainable farming practices—making it an essential component in progressive agricultural systems across Southern Africa and beyond.
