Product Description
Coconut shell activated carbon powder is a high-efficiency adsorption material made from coconut shells. Coconut shell activated carbon is black in appearance and has the advantages of developed pores, good adsorption performance, high strength, easy regeneration, economical and durable.
Activated carbon powder is widely used in industrial fields such as water treatment and air purification due to its excellent adsorption performance. The powdered structure of activated carbon ensures its large specific surface area, giving it a high adsorption capacity and can effectively remove pollutants such as organic matter, chlorine and heavy metals in water and air.

Product Properties
High Adsorption Capacity
Powdered activated carbon is known for its excellent adsorption properties, effectively removing contaminants from gases, liquids, and solid surfaces. Coconut shell-based activated carbons generally have the highest iodine adsorption values, followed by coal-based and wood-based activated carbons. This makes coconut shell-based activated carbons particularly ideal for advanced purification processes that require maximum adsorption capacity.
Caramel Decolorization Efficiency
Coconut shell-based activated carbons excel in decolorization processes, especially in the food and beverage industry due to their excellent caramel decolorization efficiency. Coal-based activated carbons provide robust performance and are suitable for a variety of applications, while wood-based activated carbons are generally used in less demanding decolorization processes.
Apparent Density
Coconut shell-based activated carbons have a high apparent density and are suitable for high-density filtration applications, such as water treatment plants that require deep filtration. Coal-based activated carbons have a balanced density and are suitable for a variety of industrial applications, while wood-based activated carbons have a lower density and are more suitable for applications that do not require heavy adsorption.
Moisture Content
All three activated carbons (coconut shell, coal-based, and wood-based) have a moisture content of less than 5%, ensuring a long shelf life and stability during adsorption processes. This low moisture content allows them to maintain high performance in both wet and dry conditions.
Ash Content
The ash content of activated carbon is a key parameter affecting its reusability and effectiveness. Coconut shell-based activated carbons have an ash content of less than 8%, ensuring high purity. Coal-based activated carbons have slightly higher ash contents, typically up to 10%, which are suitable for industrial applications. Wood-based activated carbons may have an ash content of up to 12%, which, while acceptable in some applications, may affect overall adsorption effectiveness.
pH
The pH of powdered activated carbons varies between materials. Coconut shell-based activated carbons typically have a neutral to slightly alkaline pH ranging from 5.5-6.5, which is suitable for water treatment applications that require pH stability. Coal-based activated carbons generally have a neutral pH ranging from 5.0-6.0. Wood-based activated carbons have a more acidic pH, typically between 4.5-5.5, which is advantageous in certain applications such as decolorization of organic compounds.
Low environmental impact
Powdered activated carbon, especially coconut shell and wood activated carbon, is derived from renewable natural materials and is environmentally friendly. They are often used in areas such as drinking water purification, food processing and air quality improvement, and are favored for their low environmental impact.
Cost-effectiveness and versatility
Coal-based activated carbon is usually the most cost-effective option for a large number of industrial applications and is used in situations where excessive purification effects are not required. Although more affordable, wood activated carbon is usually used in specific applications such as food and beverage decolorization, where lower performance and cost are preferred factors.
