Activated carbon is a highly porous substance that attracts and holds organic chemicals inside it. It is a widespread adsorption media used in almost every industrial field. It is used in different applications such as purification (such as gas and water purification), recovery, decolorization, deodorization, separation, catalysis, catalytic support, and gas storage.
We offer a wide range of industry-leading activated carbon solutions, each with its own uses and applications, in three major product groups:
Powdered activated carbon (PAC)
Granular activated carbon (GAC)
Extruded activated carbon(EAC)
Activated carbon is produced from carbonaceous source materials, such as coconuts, nutshells, coal, peat and wood.
The primary raw material used for activated carbon is any organic material with a high carbon content.
Activated carbon is used to purify liquids and gases in a variety of applications, including municipal drinking water, food and beverage processing, odor removal, industrial pollution control. Adsorption is a process where a solid is used for removing a soluble substance from the water. Activated carbon is produced specifically so as to achieve a very big internal surface (between 500 - 1500 m2/g). This big internal surface makes active carbon ideal for adsorption. Active carbon comes in three variations: Powder Activated Carbon (PAC), Pelletized Activated Carbon (EAC), and Granular Activated Carbon (GAC).
Wood Based Powdered Activated Carbon is produced from high quality sawdust, which has large adsorption capacity and fast filtering characteristics. Most pores in wood based carbon are in the meso and macro pore region which is ideal for decolorization of liquids and water. Mainly used in kinds of amino acid or water industry, refined sugar decolorization, such as diet sugar, sucrose, fructose, xylose and other sugars, monosodium glutamate industry, glucose industry, starch sugar industry, chemical fertilizer, dyes intermediates, and food additives. It is black powder in appearance.
Coal Based Granular Active Carbon possesses both a high surface area and a large internal pore volume. These properties give the carbon not only high VOC adsorption capacities, but also high retentivities for retaining and preventing the desorption of previously adsorbed organic compounds. Being manufactured from high rank coals results in an inherently low ash content, making these carbons ideally suited for critical gas phase adsorption applications.
APPLICATIONS:
Dechlorination/chloramine reduction,
Removal of organic contaminants,
Disinfection by-product (DBP) removal,
High purity water applications,
Beverage processing.
Coconut shell activated carbon has a very high hardness and is more abrasion resistant than any other type. It is typically used for gold mines, and also can be applied for drinking water, pure water, wine, beverage, industrial wastewater purification, decolorization, dechlorination, deodorant.
Size:4*8mesh, 6*12mesh, 8*16mesh, 12*40mesh, 8*30mesh, 30*80mesh
Honeycomb activated carbon is a new type of absorption material made by high quality powder activated carbon and binder. The honeycomb carbon module has a large amount of through holes from one end to another end in a cubic or cylindrical-shaped module.
This kind of structure gives low-pressure drop, high mechanical strength and more contact surface with gas.
Honeycomb carbon module is mainly used for vapor phase pollutants removal. Now it is widely used for air purification systems which its high flow rate, low-concentration VOC pollutant air streams. This product is not only for industrial application, it also could develop to home application device to control odor, contaminant gas, and vapor content with high efficiency.
Powder activated carbon produced by steam activation of wood. Wood Powder Activated carbon powder has an extraordinarily large internal surface area and pore volume that are responsible for its adsorptive properties.
Powdered varieties of Activated Carbon are used in liquid phase application primarily for removal of undesired colour, smell and other impurities in many types of industries including basic drugs, glucose, sugar, and so on.
Quite often, powdered carbon is washed with acid and then, repeatedly with water & dried to minimize impurities like soluble ash-iron, heavy metals etc.
Granular activated carbon is mainly made from coconut shell, apricot shell, and coal base, and is processed through a series production process. The appearance is black amorphous particles; it has developed pore structure, good adsorption performance, high mechanical strength, easily repeated regeneration, low cost, etc.
Activated carbon granules are widely used in drinking water, industrial water, waste gas treatment, food and beverage decolorization, gas purification, etc. Coconut shell granular activated carbon also has another special function, that is, gold mining.
Coconut shell based granular activated carbon is regarded as the best absorbent, which can be used in continuous process in areas like water treatment(drinking & effluent water), removal of mercury from effluents or alkali cells, solvent recovery, gold recovery, removal of odour, gas masks, as catalyst carrier, for dechlorination of water, purification & separation of gases, kitchen hoods, dry cleaning etc.
Pellet Activated Carbon is created by extruding activated carbon into cylindrical shaped pellets with diameters ranging from 0.8 to 8 mm. Their high activity and surface area make it ideal for many vapor phase applications. The uniformity of its shape makes it particularly useful in applications where low-pressure drop is a consideration.
Pellet Activated Carbon has a wide variety of uses removing contaminants such as volatile organic compounds (VOC's) and mercury from natural gas as well as controlling odor.
