Activated carbon (also called activated charcoal, activated coal or active carbon) is a very useful adsorbent. Due to their high surface area, pore structure (micro, meso and macro), and high degree of surface reactivity, activated carbon can be used to purify, dechlorinate, deodorize and decolorize both liquid and vapor applications. Moreover, activated carbons are economical adsorbents for many industries such as water purification, food grade products, cosmetology, automotive applications, industrial gas purification, petroleum and precious metal recovery mainly for gold. The base materials for activated carbons are coconut shell, coal or wood.
Activated Carbon Applications:
Water Filter
Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity for many substances. It can be used to remove the color, odor and residual chlorine in the water, and can change the taste of the water.
Gold Recovery
Activated carbon has been used as an adsorbent in the gold processing industry to recover gold from mining operations. But for most clients, coconut shell activated carbon is the best choice.
Phamacuetical
Activated carbon is essential in the pharmaceutical industry for purifying and decolorizing drugs and intermediates. It adsorbs impurities and unwanted color compounds.
Vapour Recovery
Activated carbon is crucial in vapor recovery systems for capturing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and preventing their release into the atmosphere.
Air & Gas Purification
Activated carbons are used in the gas phase for the removal of a variety of unwanted contaminants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Food & Drinks
Activated carbon has been widely used in the food and beverage industry. It is mainly suitable for liquid phase adsorption and has the functions of impurity removal and purification.
Solvent Recovery
The solvent Recovery Process is the adsorption of solvents on activated carbon and their subsequent desorption using superheated steam or hot inert gas.
H2S Removal
Activated carbon is used for removing (H2S) from gases and liquids. In H2S removal, it traps H2S molecules from emissions in industrial processes, wastewater treatment, and biogas purification.
Gas Mask
Activated carbon is crucial in gas masks for removing harmful gases and vapors, ensuring safe breathing air.
Water Treatment
Our carbon can effectively remove organic molecules, including volatile organic compounds (VOC), and many other pollutants.
Wine Decolorization
Activated carbon is used in wine production for removing unwanted impurities, in white and blush wines.
PSA
Activated carbon plays a crucial role in Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) systems used for gas separation and purification.
Mercury Removal
In mercury removal processes, activated carbon is used to capture mercury from industrial emissions, wastewater, and air streams.
Chemical
Activated carbon, is widely used in the chemical industry for various applications due to its excellent adsorption properties.
Oil Refining
By leveraging the unique properties of activated carbon, the oil refining industry can ensure product quality, and minimize environmental impact.
Mining
Activated carbon plays a significant role in the mining industry, particularly in the extraction and purification of precious metals.
