Activated Carbon Description

Activated carbon for water treatment is manufactured from coconut shells, wood, or coal as raw materials through a high-temperature steam activation process. It undergoes crushing, screening, and post-processing to produce granular activated carbon.

With its highly developed mesoporous structure, activated carbon has a large adsorption capacity and rapid filtration capabilities. It is primarily used for purifying drinking water, alcohol, various beverage waters, as well as treating industrial and domestic wastewater.

Different types of activated carbon are used in primary, secondary, and tertiary wastewater treatment stages. Commonly used water purification activated carbon is categorized into the following three types based on raw materials:

Wood-Based Activated Carbon:

Made from premium wood carbonized material through a physical steam activation process.
Non-toxic and odorless, highly developed pore structure, not containing water-soluble substances that adversely affect water quality, efficiently adsorbs organic and inorganic compounds in water.
Strong adsorption capacity and rapid filtration speed.
Used for deep purification of drinking water, alcoholic beverages, and beverage-grade water. Also suitable for purifying and recycling industrial wastewater, sewage, and pond water.

Coal-Based Activated Carbon:

Made from multiple selected coal types through scientific formulation, grinding, non-bonded molding, carbonization, and steam activation.
Highly developed mesoporous structure with low floatation rate, making it an optimal adsorbent for liquid decolorization and water treatment.
Appears as dark black cylindrical or irregular granules with high specific surface area, appropriate pore structure, superior mechanical strength, high temperatures and pressures resistance without breaking, and is easily recyclable with a long lifespan.
Widely applied in advanced purification of drinking and industrial water for decolorization, dechlorination, deodorization, and oil removal; advanced wastewater treatment; production of ultrapure water in electronics manufacturing; purification of food industry water; removal of organic colored molecules from water, etc.

Coconut Shell Activated Carbon:

Made from premium coconut shells.
Appears as irregular black granular particles with high specific surface area, well-developed pore structure, strong adsorption capacity, high mechanical strength, and easy regeneration.
Widely used in gas adsorption, water purification, and purification, separation, and refinement of beverages.

Activated Carbon Applications

Drinking Water Purification

Advanced Purification: Used for municipal drinking water and high-purity water production, removing residual chlorine, odors, colorants, and harmful organic compounds.

Water Taste Enhance: Significantly improves water taste and odor, making it more palatable.

Industrial Water Treatment

Pre-treatment: Used for pre-treatment of industrial water such as large-scale boiler feedwater, removing harmful impurities like COD to enhance boiler efficiency and extend service life.

Deep Purification: Plays a role in deep purification of industrial water, producing ultrapure water and distilled water.

Wastewater Treatment

Advanced Purification: Primarily used for tertiary treatment of wastewater, removing pollutants that are difficult for microorganisms to decompose to meet discharge or recycling standards.

Removal of Specific Pollutants: Effectively removes COD, color, odors, pesticide residues, heavy metals, synthetic detergents, and other contaminants from wastewater.

Gas and Solution Purification

Exhaust Gas Treatment: Used for industrial exhaust gas treatment to purify toxic gases.

Solution Refining: Used for decolorization and purification of solutions.

Other Water Treatment Processes

Activated carbon is often used in conjunction with other technologies - such as ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, ozone oxidation, biological treatment, and ultraviolet disinfection - to achieve more comprehensive purification results.
