Coconut-Based Activated Carbon Company

Activated carbon suppliers

Activated carbon can be produced from a variety of materials such as coal, wood, sawdust, rice husk, corn cob, etc.

However, coconut shell is generally considered as the best raw material to manufacture activated carbon, especially for air filtering purposes.

Scottish physicist James Dewar extensively studied the gas absorption capacity of activated carbon. He found out that cooling the carbon to extremely cold temperatures allowed it to absorb substantial quantities of numerous air gasses, and that coconut-based carbon was the best in doing so.

Coconut shell is superior than other materials mainly because the majority of the pores of the carbon it generates have a diameter of less than two nanometers. These "micropores" provide excellent conditions for adsorption to occur. Adsorption is the process where molecules are concentrated on the surface of the activated carbon.

Coconut-based activated carbon is ideal for the adsorption of gas/vapor, and has the ability to absorb color and odor. It’s also effective for solvent and gold recovery.

Look for a company that employs an effective quality assurance system beginning from the raw material delivery, to the actual carbon processing, all the way to the final analysis prior to packaging and shipping.

This ensures high standards and the quality of the activated carbon or charcoal is guaranteed to meet your requirements and specifications.
