Activated carbon is one of the best adsorbents known to man and it has been used for various purifications processes of water and waste water for the last few decades.More recently high end applications in various other industries like precious metals refining,solvent recovery,pollution control equipments ,decolourisation etc.Activated Carbon can be made from any susbstance with high carbon content like wood,coal and coconut shell.The selected raw material has a lot of bearing on the quality of the final activated carbon.Coconut shell steam Activated carbon with its unique properties is a superior adsorbent.
|
Typical characteristics of coconut shell based steam activated carbon:
|
Increasing durablility and reduces loss in application,
handling and regeneration |
|
Gives high adsorption and retention capacity. |
|
Gives economy in filter size for same level of filtration. |
|
Gives high adsorption efficiency |
|
Gives high purity and does not add to contaminant load of Adsorbate. |
