Activated Carbon Granules

Description

1. Product Overview
Activated Carbon Granules are a high-performance adsorptive medium engineered for the rigorous separation of organic compounds, contaminants, and residual chemicals from liquid and gas streams. Primarily deployed in industrial water treatment, air purification, and precious metal recovery processes, this product delivers exceptional surface area activity and rapid adsorption kinetics. Its strategic importance lies in enabling regulatory compliance and operational efficiency across sectors facing tightening environmental discharge standards.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Material Composition: Bituminous coal, coconut shell, or wood-based carbon, steam or chemically activated

• Purity Grade: >99% fixed carbon; ash content <5% (typical)

• Physical Form: Irregular or cylindrical granules; color: black

• Mesh Size Range: 4×8, 6×12, 8×16, 12×30 mesh (as per ASTM standards)

• Iodine Number: 900–1,200 mg/g (minimum)

• Apparent Density: 0.45–0.55 g/cc

• Packaging Options: 25 kg multi-wall paper bags, 500 kg jumbo bags, or 1 MT big bags

• Shelf Life: 24 months when stored in dry, odor-free conditions, sealed from direct airflow

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Removes chlorine, VOCs, PFAS, and dissolved organic matter; outperforms sand filters with 5x higher adsorption capacity and lower backwash frequency.

• Air & Gas Purification: Captures mercury, H₂S, and solvent vapors in flue gas desulfurization and HVAC systems – regeneration cycles extend media life by 40% vs. virgin-only alternatives.

• Gold Recovery (CIP/CIL): Achieves 98%+ gold adsorption efficiency in cyanidation circuits, reducing reagent consumption and tailings toxicity.

• Food & Beverage: Decolorizes sugar syrups and edible oils with zero chemical leaching, ensuring FDA-compliant end products.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Lot-to-lot uniformity guaranteed with ISO 9001:2025-certified manufacturing and third-party SGS testing reports.

• Supply reliability: Year-round production capacity of 12,000 MT with safety stock held in three regional warehouses (Asia, Europe, GCC).

• Logistics capability: Export-ready documentation, hazardous goods classification handled, and door-to-door container tracking.

• Cost competitiveness: 15–20% lower landed cost than European/US peers due to vertically integrated activation kilns and bulk raw material sourcing.

• Sustainability: 100% reactivation service available; spent carbon can be returned for thermal reactivation, achieving 90% CO₂ reduction versus virgin production.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 20 metric tons (one full break-bulk shipment)

• Loading Capacity: 20 MT per 20-foot dry container (palletized or loose fill as per buyer preference)
