WOOD BASED ACTIVATED CARBON
Wood based activated carbon is produced from selected types of wood and sawdust. This type of carbon is produced by either steam or phosphoric acid activation. Most pores in wood based carbon are in the meso and macro pore region which is ideal for decentralization of liquids and water. Wood base carbon is primarily used in surface water and wastewater filters to remove organic impurities and to effectively remove larger molecular structures like MIB (2-Methylisoborneol) and Gemini. Wood base phosphoric acid activation can yeild carbon with a very high surface area, ranging from 1500-2500 m2/g. The product is available in granular, pelletized, or powder forms.
USES :
- PORTABLE WATER PURIFICATION
- SURFACE AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT
- FOOD AND BEVERAGE DECOLORIZATION
- PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
- PURIFICATION AND DECOLORIZATION OF EDIBLE OIL

Products of Wood Based Activated Carbon
Granular Activated Carbon
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is made from high quality raw material, such as coal, wood, and coconut shell. The adsorption capacity of granular activated carbon makes it ideal for removing a variety of contaminants from water, air, liquids, and gases to improve taste, odor, and color. Typical GAC applications are municipal and environmental water treatment, waste gas treatment, mercury removal in industrial gasses, food and beverage, metal recovery, and even medicinal use.
Powdered Activated Carbon
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) is similar to Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) as it is made from high quality coal, wood or coconut shell raw material. PAC is typically considered to have particles less than U.S standard 80 mesh size, which makes it ideal for water treatment.
Pelletized Activated Carbon
Our Pelletized Activated Carbon is produced from coal, wood, and coconut shell by high- temperature steam activation and manufactured with suitable binders under stringent quality control. The pelletized carbon has a low ash content, large surface area, high mechanical strength, extended pore volume, and chemical stability. These characteristics make it ideal for many vapor phase applications.
