Coal-Based Activated Carbon

Classified by purpose: Coal based activated carbon can be used for various purposes such as water purification, air purification, decolorization, solvent recovery, injection, and protection. High adsorption coal activated carbon is mainly used for gas purification, solvent recovery, and high-purity gas treatment. Low ash activated carbon is mainly used for purifying drinking water, high-purity liquids, and processing food and pharmaceuticals. Ultra small diameter activated carbon is mainly used for gas masks, etc. Coal activated carbon with well-developed pores is mainly used as a catalyst carrier. Due to its acid, alkali, and heat resistance, as well as the convenient regeneration of coal based activated carbon after adsorption saturation, coal based activated carbon is an essential carbonaceous adsorbent material in modern industrial production and environmental protection.

Classified by appearance: Coal based activated carbon can be mainly divided into coal based granular activated carbon and coal based powdered activated carbon according to their different appearance forms. Granular activated carbon can be further divided into two categories: coal based formed carbon (including columnar carbon, briquetted carbon, and spherical carbon) and raw coal based granular activated carbon.

Water Treatment: Coal based activated carbon effectively removes contaminants, organic compounds, and odors from drinking water, wastewater, and industrial effluents, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental standards. Its high adsorption capacity makes it a preferred choice for water purification systems.

Gas Separation and Purification: Coal activated carbon is employed in air and gas purification systems to remove impurities, odors, and harmful gases, ensuring cleaner and safer environments. Its versatility makes it ideal for applications in industrial and commercial settings.

Solvent Recovery: Coal activated carbon efficiently captures and recovers volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in industrial processes, reducing emissions and enabling resource reuse. This makes it essential for sustainable operations in chemical and manufacturing industries.

Decolorization and Purification: Widely used in the food and beverage industry, coal based activated carbon excels in refining saccharin, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and edible oils. It’s also critical in pharmaceuticals for purifying active ingredients and intermediates, ensuring high-quality outputs.

Efficient Desulfurizers: Specially treated coal based activated carbon in China effectively removes sulfur compounds from gases, making it ideal for applications in natural gas processing, biogas purification, and emission control systems. This enhances environmental compliance and operational efficiency.

Catalysts and Catalyst Carriers: With tailored surface chemistry, coal based activated carbon serves as a robust catalyst or catalyst support in chemical reactions, enhancing efficiency in processes like petrochemical refining and industrial synthesis.
