Coconut shell activated carbon has a very high hardness and is more abrasion resistant than any other type. It is a totally natural, environmentally friendly product, that has a very small carbon foot print, since it is derived from coconut shells. As most of its pore structure consists of micropores (more than 80%), coconut shell carbon can efficiently absorb impurities with micropore molecular structure, such as those present in drinking water. In addition, because of its high abrasion resistance and exceptional chemical and physical characteristics, only coconut shell activated carbon can support applications such as recovery of gold and other precious metals.

Uses

• Portable water purification
• Wastewater purification
• Gold absorption from gold solution (precious metal recovery)
• Organic impurity removal in food and beverage applications
• Medical use
• Catalyst support

Our Pelletized Activated Carbon is produced from coal, wood, and coconut shell by high-temperature steam activation and manufactured with suitable binders under stringent quality control. The pelletized carbon has a low ash content, large surface area, high mechanical strength, extended pore volume, and chemical stability. These characteristics make it ideal for many vapor phase applications. The cylindrical uniformity of its shape makes it particularly useful in applications where there is a likelihood of a low-pressure drop over granular activated carbon. The adsorptive capacity of pelletized carbon makes it ideal for removing a variety of contaminants from air and gas streams, the recovery of solvents, and for evaporative emissions controls.

Carbon Activated Corp. pelletized carbon can be used for environmental air treatment, purification for gas-phase applications, air filtration, bio-gas filtration, odor control, and removal of toxic organic impurities from natural gas. Activated carbon is the safest, most efficient technology for the removal of VOCs, airborne chemicals, gaseous pollutants, and other fumes and odors in industrial, municipal, or commercial applications. Our activated carbon solutions have a smaller environmental footprint compared to other odor control technologies and are a cost-effective solution to meeting hazardous environmental regulations.

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is made from high quality raw material, such as coal, wood, and coconut shell. The adsorptive capacity of granular activated carbon makes it ideal for removing a variety of contaminants from water, air, liquids, and gases to improve taste, odor, and color. Typical GAC applications are municipal and environmental water treatment, waste gas treatment, mercury removal in industrial gasses, food and beverage, metal recovery, and even medicinal use. Additionally, various particle sizes of GAC is optimal for use in vapor and liquid adsorption applications. Our coconut shell based activated carbon has a higher percentage of micro-pores, which makes it highly effective for the filtration of small organics structures, recovery of precious metals and reduction of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in potable water. Our wood based activated carbon has more macro-pores structure making them better for de-colorization of liquids and removal of larger molecular structures like MIB (2-Methylisoborneol) and Geosmin. For general filtration purposes, our coal based activated carbon, with its intermediate pore structure, would be the best choice.

GAC is a reuse and ecofriendly product. It can be regenerated, through thermal activation, and used multiple times for the same application. We at Carbon Activated Corp. also provide the service of GAC change-outs and regeneration to supply ANSI/NSF61 certified custom regenerated activated carbon products.
