Coal based activated carbon

Coal based activated carbon products

Coal based activated carbon is a versatile and widely used material across a range of industries due to its unique ability to remove both small and large molecular structures. Available in four different types of base material bituminous, sub bituminous, anthracite, and lignite. This activated carbon offers a variety of pore structures including micro, meso, and macro pores. This unique pore distribution allows it to effectively adsorb and remove contaminants from various applications.

Types of coal based activated carbon

  • Bituminous: Ideal for general purpose applications with high adsorption capacities.
  • Sub bituminous: Often used in environments where a lower hardness is acceptable but still provides effective adsorption.
  • Anthracite: Suitable for applications requiring high hardness and durability.
  • Lignite: Best used for applications that require lower cost and efficient adsorption for larger molecular sizes.

These carbons are available in three forms: granular, extruded (pelletized), and powder, ensuring that there is a suitable solution for different industries and needs.

Applications of coal based activated carbon

  • Portable Water Purification: Used in filtration systems to remove contaminants and improve water quality for drinking purposes.
  • Wastewater Treatment: Effectively removes toxins and impurities from industrial and municipal wastewater.
  • Industrial Air Purification: Filters out harmful gases and odors from industrial air systems, ensuring better air quality and safety.
  • Purification of Food and Beverages: Used to improve taste and clarity in food and beverage products by removing undesirable flavors and odors.
  • Medical and Pharmaceutical Uses: Plays a vital role in the purification of drugs and medical solutions, as well as in applications like emergency poisoning treatments.
  • Automotive Uses: Used in vehicle air filtration systems to purify air and reduce harmful emissions.
  • Chemical Purification: Essential in removing unwanted chemicals or pollutants from various processes, enhancing product quality and safety.

The unique properties of coal based activated carbon make it a critical component in numerous applications, ensuring that industries can meet regulatory standards and deliver high-quality products.
