Exceptional Adsorption PerformanceWith an iodine number ranging from 800 to 1200 mg/g, this activated charcoal efficiently removes impurities from water, air, and chemicals. Its highly porous structure ensures rapid and thorough adsorption, making it ideal for diverse industrial applications. The fine black powder, crafted from coconut shell or wood carbon, provides maximum surface area for effective filtration and purification.
Safe, Pure, and Versatile ApplicationProduced under stringent industrial standards, this activated charcoal boasts 99% purity, low moisture, and minimal ash content. Its neutral pH and compliance with industrial heavy metal limits make it suitable for sensitive processes. Whether for water and air purification, gold recovery, or toxin adsorption in medical contexts, it operates reliably across a wide range of uses.
Practical Packaging and Effective StoragePackaged in robust 25 kg HDPE bags or as per requirements, the activated charcoal remains protected from moisture and contamination. For best results, it should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, preserving its adsorption capacity and shelf life for up to three years. Bulk and custom packaging options are available for distributors, exporters, and industrial end-users.
FAQs of Activated Charcoal:
Q: How do you properly use activated charcoal in water purification systems?
A: Activated charcoal powder is either directly added to liquids or used within filtration units. Its highly porous nature allows it to adsorb impurities, toxins, and odors from water. The recommended process is to mix the powder thoroughly and allow adequate contact time before filtration or decanting.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this industrial-grade activated charcoal?
A: This product offers exceptional impurity removal thanks to its high adsorption capacity (iodine number: 8001200 mg/g), minimal ash and moisture content, and robust hardness. It is odorless and tasteless, ensuring no alteration when treating water, air, or industrial chemicals.
Q: Where should activated charcoal be stored to maintain its effectiveness?
A: Activated charcoal should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Storing in sealed 25 kg HDPE bags helps prevent contamination, ensuring the charcoal retains its adsorption ability throughout its 3-year shelf life.
Q: What is the typical process for industrial applications of this activated charcoal?
A: Depending on the application, the powder can be either blended directly into solutions for batch treatment (e.g., toxin adsorption, gold purification) or packed into filters for continuous processes such as water or air purification. Its fine particle size (200 mesh) supports efficient and thorough adsorption.
Q: When should you consider replacing or regenerating the activated charcoal?
A: Activated charcoal should be replaced or regenerated when you observe a decrease in adsorption efficiency, such as breakthrough of contaminants in filtered air or water. Regular monitoring based on application load helps determine optimal replacement intervals.
Q: What makes this activated charcoal suitable for industrial-grade use?
A: The products high purity (99%), compliance with heavy metal limits, sturdy physical properties (hardness >95%), and stable pH (6.58.0 in 1% solution) make it fit for rigorous industrial applications including water treatment, air filtration, chemical processing, and gold purification.
