Black activated carbon is a highly porous and adsorptive material commonly produced from carbon-rich materials such as coconut shells, coal, or wood. It is widely used in water treatment, air purification, and industrial processes due to its exceptional ability to remove impurities, toxins, and odors. Activated carbon works by trapping chemicals and contaminants within its vast network of pores, making it highly effective in filtering and purifying liquids and gases.
In addition to environmental applications, it is used in food and beverage industries for decolorizing liquids, in pharmaceuticals for toxin removal, and in chemical processing for gas purification. Its versatility extends to personal care products, where it is used for detoxifying and cleansing purposes in skincare.
Among its numerous sources, coconut shells have gained significant attention as a sustainable and efficient raw material for producing high-quality activated carbon. Coconut shell-based steam-activated Carbon is mainly used for the removal of chlorine, organic contaminants, color and odor from drinking water to make it suitable for human consumption. Being microporous in internal structure, coconut shell activated carbon is well suited for organic chemical adsorption, including volatile organic chemicals.
- One of the prominent applications of coconut shell-based activated carbon is in water treatment processes. It effectively removes impurities, organic contaminants, and heavy metals, ensuring clean and safe drinking water.
- It acts as a decolorizing agent, removing impurities and unwanted odors from edible oils, beverages, and food products finding its application in the food and beverage industry. Additionally, it is employed in the purification of sugar syrups, ensuring high-quality and clear syrup for various confectionery and beverage manufacturing processes.
- It serves as an excellent adsorbent in the production of drugs, where it eliminates unwanted impurities, colorants, and traces of heavy metals making it ideal choice in pharmaceutical industry too. The high purity and porosity of coconut shell-based activated carbon make it a preferred choice for pharmaceutical manufacturers to ensure product quality and safety.
Coconut carbon can be applied for water further treatment and purification. Deodorant and decolor of waters in areas like electric power plant, pharmaceutical industry and other industrial waste waters. And work as catalysis carrier in synthesizing of mercury bichloride and Vinyl Acetate, or used for industrial gas desulphurization and phosgene production of the catalyst.
In the gold mining industry, gold recovery,extraction and refining.
