Coconut shell activated carbon is made of high-quality coconut shells imported from Indonesia and processed through a series of production processes. Coconut shell activated carbon is black and granular in appearance. It has the advantages of developed pores, good adsorption performance, high strength, easy regeneration, economical and durable. However, due to the origin of coconut shells, the price is higher than that of conventional wood activated carbon.
The product is mainly used for purification, decolorization, dechlorination and deodorization of drinking water, pure water, wine making, beverages and industrial wastewater; it can also be used for desulfurization in the oil refining industry.
1. Coconut shell granular activated carbon is often used in gas phase adsorption, usually by allowing the air flow to pass through the activated carbon layer for adsorption. Depending on the state of the activated carbon layer in the adsorption device, the adsorption layer has several types: fixed layer, mobile layer and flowing layer. However, in small adsorbers such as deodorizers in refrigerators and cars, adsorption relies on gas convection and diffusion. In addition to granular activated carbon, activated carbon fibers and activated carbon moldings are also being increasingly widely used in gas phase adsorption.
2. The air in instrument rooms, air-conditioning rooms, basements and submarine facilities often contains body odor, smoking odor, cooking odor, oil, organic and inorganic sulfides, corrosive components, etc. due to external pollution or the influence of human activities in a closed environment, which causes corrosion of precision instruments or affects human health. Activated carbon can be used for purification to remove impurities.
3. Coconut shell activated carbon can be used in the exhaust gas of chemical plants, leather factories, paint factories and projects using various organic solvents. It contains various organic solvents, inorganic and organic sulfides, hydrocarbons, chlorine, oil, mercury and other components that are harmful to the environment. It can be adsorbed by activated carbon before being discharged. The gas discharged from atomic energy facilities contains radioactive krypton, xenon, iodine and other substances, which must be adsorbed by activated carbon before being discharged. The flue gas generated by the combustion of coal and heavy oil contains sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which are harmful components that pollute the atmosphere and form acid rain. They can also be adsorbed and removed by activated carbon.
4. There are many other use cases for coconut shell activated carbon to purify gas, such as gas masks, cigarette filters, refrigerator deodorizers, automobile exhaust treatment devices, etc., all of which use the excellent adsorption properties of activated carbon to remove toxic components, components that are harmful to the human body, or components with odors in the gas. For example, after adding 100~120ng of activated carbon to the cigarette filter, a large part of the harmful components in the smoke can be removed.
Activated carbon plays a vital role in the gold recovery process, especially in the mining and metallurgical fields. This extraordinary material is known for its excellent adsorption properties, which allows it to selectively capture and concentrate trace amounts of gold from complex ore solutions. Gold recovery using activated carbon is carried out through a process called carbon-in-pulp (CIP) or carbon-in-leach (CIL), in which finely ground ore is mixed with a cyanide solution to dissolve the gold. The solution containing gold ions is then passed through a layer of activated carbon, which captures the gold particles, effectively stripping them from the solution. Subsequent heating or chemical treatment can recover the captured gold, making activated carbon an indispensable tool in modern gold mining, ensuring efficient and environmentally friendly gold extraction.
To recover gold, the core process is the gold cyanidation process, which uses a cyanide solution to leach gold from the ore to form a gold-cyanide complex. Our activated carbon excels at adsorbing and retaining gold from these solutions, facilitating an efficient recovery process.
Gold recovery is carried out in mines around the world. Like most other industries, gold mining must strike a delicate balance between controlling operating costs and maximizing return on investment (while maintaining environmental responsibility). Choosing the right activated carbon supplier for gold recovery is essential.
In the dynamic landscape of the gold mining industry, an efficient gold recovery process is essential. Our activated carbon is specifically designed to enhance the gold recovery process, ensuring optimal results and maximum yield.
Coconut shell steam activated carbon has high adsorption rate and wide surface area, which are key factors in adsorbing gold particles from leaching solution. Commonly used particle sizes are 6*12 mesh and 8*16 mesh, and the particle size distribution is carefully designed to ensure the best contact between activated carbon and precious metals, thereby improving overall efficiency.
