Water Purification Coal Or Wood Based Granular Activated Carbon

Application:

Black granular nut shell activated carbon, choose high quality green coconut shell, peach shell, walnut shell, shell etc. Fruit shell as raw material, activated carbon by carbonization and activation, such as overheated steam catalytic process refined but become, the appearance of a black amorphous particles, the series production craft processing and become a kind of active carbon.

Activated carbons are a group of carbon materials that have surface functionality which results in materials that are effective at adsorption of certain chemical species.

Active carbons are typically manufactured from organic precursors such as cellulostic materials (coconut shells for instance), various types of coal or other types of carbons. Many activated carbons are produced by heating the precursor material under reducing conditions to generate a carbonaceous surface. This process is typically followed by activation, which is a thermal or chemical oxidation step that further enhances the material’s surface.

Water Filtration
Activated carbon removes a wide range of organic contaminants from water, including some types of bacteria and algae. VOCs (volatile organic compounds), pesticides, herbicides, and micropollutants are also removed. It converts chlorine to chloride, removing the chemical taste and smell of treated water, as well as tannins and phenols that also affect water’s look and taste.

Reducing Gas and Bloating

Activated carbon is sold in capsule and tablet form to combat the effects of gas-producing foods. There is some scientific evidence that these products work as claimed, especially when consuming foods such as beans. However, it is important to use activated carbon only occasionally for this purpose. Frequent consumption can lead to constipation, vomiting, or diarrhea, as well as interactions with common prescription and over the counter medications. 

Gold Recovry

Coconut / nut shell activated carbon has long been used as an adsorbent in the gold processing industry to recover gold from mining solutions. Due to its high surface area and exceptional hardness, coconut shell GAC is the main product used in carbon-in-leach (CIL), carbon-in-pulp (CIP), and carbon-in-column (CIC) operating systems.
