High-purity activated carbon is used across various industries, including water treatment, air purification, pharmaceutical production, and as a catalyst carrier. It is available from specialized suppliers in granular, powdered, and pelletized forms.
High purity in activated carbon typically means a low content of trace elements and ash, which is vital in applications where contamination must be avoided.
High Surface Area: High-purity carbons can have a surface area exceeding 800 m²/gram, which is crucial for high adsorption capacity.
Low Impurity Content: Using a pure raw material and clean production environment minimizes metal and other trace element impurities (e.g., as low as ~0.1% metal impurity content, as per Power Carbon Technology Co.,Ltd. specifications).
Physical Strength: High strength and wear resistance prevent the carbon from breaking down into fines, which can cause contamination in certain systems (e.g., in catalyst beds).
Industrial applications: Wastewater treatment (decolorization, deodorization), waste gas purification (catalytic combustion).
Pharmaceutical applications: Injectable activated carbon must be sterile and have low metal residue (e.g., iron content ≤0.02%).
Food/Electronics applications: Ultrapure activated carbon must have an ash content ≤3% to meet high cleanliness requirements.
1.Powdered activated carbon (PAC)
With fine particle size (0.15-0.25mm) and large specific surface area, it has a fast adsorption rate and is suitable for emergency treatment or liquid decolorization. For example, industrial powdered activated carbon (iodine value 400-1300mg/g, ash content <10%).
2.Granular activated carbon
High abrasion resistance and well-developed pores make it suitable for water treatment or air purification. For example, coconut shell activated carbon (strength ≥95%, iodine value 700-900 mg/g).
3.Columnar/Honeycomb Activated Carbon
Low pore resistance, suitable for waste gas treatment. For example, honeycomb activated carbon (iodine value ≥950mg/g, benzene adsorption rate ≥37%).
