What is Activated Carbon?

Activated carbon is made from organic material such as coal, coconut, apricot shell or wood, with a high natural level of carbon. The material is slowly heated in a low- or no-oxygen environment to draw out water and impurities, resulting in a material known as char. The char is then processed both physically and chemically to vastly increase its surface area and create a submicroscopic network of pores.

The commonly used raw materials for preparing activated carbon are coal, coconut shell, wood and so on. Relying on the high quality anthracite resource in ningxia, coal based activated carbon is our superior product.

Types of Activated Carbon

According to different materials, activated carbon can be divided into these types

Coconut shell activated carbon

Coconut shell activated carbon with high-quality coconut shell as raw materials, raw materials through screening, steam carbonization after refining treatment, and then through the removal of impurities, activation screening and other series of processes produced. It is widely used in the metallurgical and chemical industry, petroleum power, food and beverage, drinking water, pure water, industrial water purification and precious metal extraction.

Coal based activated carbon

The product is made of high quality anthracite as raw material, and has the characteristics of high strength, fast adsorption speed, high adsorption capacity, large specific surface area and developed pore structure. It is mainly used for high-end air purification, exhaust gas purification, high-purity water treatment, wastewater treatment, sewage treatment, etc.

Wood based activated carbon

Wood activated carbon is made of high-quality wood and has a powder shape. It is produced by high-temperature carbonization, activation and various processes. It is suitable for pharmaceutical, petrochemical, sugar, beverage and alcohol purification industries. The main function is for decolorization, refining, purification and sewage treatment.

According to different shapes, activated carbon can also be divided into several types.

Granular activated carbon

Granular activated carbon has developed pore structure, good adsorption performance, high mechanical strength, easy to repeat regeneration, low cost characteristics; It is used for liquid phase adsorption, gas phase adsorption, solvent recovery and other aspects.

Powdered activated carbon

Powdered activated carbon has the advantages of fast filtration speed, good adsorption performance, strong decolorization and deodorization ability, economic and durability, and is often used for liquid phase adsorption, decolorization and other applications.

Pelletized activated carbon

Pellet activated carbon is widely used in toxic gas purification, waste gas treatment, industrial and domestic water purification treatment, solvent recovery and other aspects.
