Activated Biochar — Environmental treatment

Description

Product Overview
Activated Biochar for Environmental Treatment is a high-performance, engineered carbonaceous adsorbent produced through controlled pyrolysis and activation of sustainably sourced biomass. It is primarily used for industrial wastewater purification, gas stream treatment, and soil remediation. The key value proposition is its exceptional adsorption capacity for heavy metals, organic pollutants, and emerging contaminants at a lower lifecycle cost than conventional activated carbon. Strategically, it addresses tightening global discharge regulations and corporate net-zero commitments, making it a critical input for compliant, sustainable industrial operations.

Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Amorphous carbon (>85% fixed carbon), surface-functionalized with oxygen groups; ash <10%

• Purity level: ≥95% biochar content (industrial grade); heavy metals below EPA threshold limits

• Physical characteristics: Powdered or granular; jet-black; particle size: 0.5–5 mm (customizable), bulk density: 0.35–0.55 g/cm³, specific surface area: 800–1,200 m²/g (BET)

• Packaging options: 500 kg big bags, 25 kg multi-layer kraft sacks, or pneumatic tanker (unpacked)

• Shelf life: 36 months when stored in dry, UV-protected conditions (≤10% moisture regain)

Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Mining & metallurgy, chemical manufacturing, municipal wastewater treatment, power generation (flue gas mercury control)

• Operational use cases: Removal of PFAS, chlorinated solvents, and dyes from effluent; capture of VOCs and H₂S in biogas upgrading; in-situ stabilization of contaminated brownfield soil

• Performance advantage: 30–40% faster adsorption kinetics for small polar molecules compared to standard coal-based activated carbon, plus lower ash leachate risk

• Cost/efficiency: Regenerable up to 3 cycles with <15% capacity loss; reduces sludge disposal volume by 20% versus coagulant-only systems

Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 17034-certified reference material testing per batch; SSA and iodine number held within ±5% tolerance

• Supply reliability: Dual-source feedstock (coconut shell + wood chips) with 24/7 manufacturing; 98% on-time dispatch record

• Logistics capability: In-house bagging and container loading at port-adjacent facility; door-to-door trackable shipments

• Price competitiveness: 18–22% lower cost per m² of adsorption surface than virgin coal-based GAC

• Sustainability: Certified biogenic carbon (>90% renewable content); carbon-negative production process (LCA verified)

• Technical support: Full adsorption isotherm modelling, breakthrough curve prediction, and spent media disposal guidance included

Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 MT (20 metric tons)

• Loading capacity: 20 MT per standard 20-foot dry container (palletized big bags, stow factor ~1.25 m³/MT)
