Our coconut shell activated carbon is a natural product created from the waste of the coconut industry so it’s an environmentally friendly choice. Coconut shells are crushed and heated to high temperatures multiple times in a low-oxygen environment in order to create a form of carbon which has millions of micropores which makes it ideal for all kinds of filtration and purification tasks.
Many of our products are created with this special type of activated carbon and we can tailor your order specifically to include coconut shell activated carbon which has the ability to adsorb thousands of contaminants and pollutants in air and water, leaving it pure and clean. Compared to coal-based and wood-based carbon it displays a superior hardness level and is much more resistant to abrasion which makes it very useful in a number of industrial sectors.
It has a wide range of uses thanks to its unique molecular structure. It is often used in the purification of water at treatment plants as it improves both the taste and odor of the water because it removes substances like chlorine and sulfides. For the treatment of wastewater it adsorbs a range of heavy metals and organic compounds to rid it of harmful toxins.
Coconut shell activated carbon is also useful for purifying air as it can capture VOC and bad smells. When used in respirators and other kinds of breathing apparatus it can filter out smoke particles and a range of airborne particles and pollutants. When used in the food and drink industry it can filter spirits like vodka to leave it crystal clear of impurities. It even has medical applications and adsorbs toxins after a drug overdose as well as purifying active ingredients in medicines.
When you need to remove contaminants and impurities from water or gas, the large porous surface area is capable of high levels of adsorption to give effective purification for extended periods of time.
As coconut shells are a by-product they are a sustainable and renewable raw material that can be repurposed into high-quality activated carbon. This is better for the environment as it reduces waste and is more easily accessible than wood or coal.
Compared to wood-based activated carbon, our coconut shell product boasts a superior level of purity and contains much lower levels of ash. This purity gives an overall better quality of filtration whether you’re removing impurities from the air or water.
