Activated Coconut Shell Carbon

Description

1. Product Overview
Activated Coconut Shell Carbon is a high-purity, microporous adsorbent derived from sustainable coconut shell feedstock, engineered for critical gas-phase and liquid-phase purification. It serves primary industries such as potable water treatment, precious metal recovery, and air filtration, delivering exceptional hardness and low impurity leach rates. The key value proposition lies in its superior surface area (1000–1300 m²/g) and uniform pore distribution, which drive longer service life and lower replacement frequency. In a market increasingly focused on operational efficiency and regulatory compliance, this product provides a strategic, environmentally responsible alternative to coal-based carbons.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Amorphous carbon (≥95% fixed carbon), minimal ash (≤3–5%)

• Purity grade: High-purity; acid-washed options available (<0.5% ash)

• Physical characteristics: Black pellets or granular form; particle size: 4×8, 6×12, 8×16, 12×30 mesh; bulk density: 450–550 kg/m³; hardness: ≥95%

• Packaging options: 25 kg multi-wall paper bags, 500 kg jumbo bags, or 20 MT bulk in shipping containers

• Shelf life: 24 months when stored in dry, sealed, non-odor conditions

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Water treatment (municipal & industrial): Removes chlorine, chloramines, VOCs, and PFAS to meet EPA/EU standards — outperforms coal carbon with lower soluble ash and faster adsorption kinetics.

• Gold mining (CIP/CIL circuits): Recovers precious metals with higher abrasion resistance and fewer fines, reducing carbon losses and operational downtime.

• Air & gas purification (biogas, flue gas, compressed air): Captures mercury, H₂S, and siloxanes; its uniform pore structure offers higher working capacity and regenerability over lower-density alternatives.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Sourced from single-origin feedstock with batch-to-batch iodine number control (±5% tolerance), certified via ISO and NSF/ANSI Standard 61.

• Supply reliability: Dedicated production capacity of 3,000 MT/month with 24/7 logistics coordination from Southeast Asian plants to global ports.

• Cost & sustainability: Fully renewable feedstock (waste coconut shells) yields competitive pricing vs. coal-based carbon while earning ESG/GHG reduction credits.

• Technical support: Full documentation (COA, MSDS, pore-size distribution curves) plus on-call adsorption modeling for system sizing.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 20 MT (bulk)

• Loading capacity: 20 MT per 20-foot standard dry container (palletized or bulk bags)
