What Is Activated Carbon?

Activated carbon is a material produced from carbonaceous source materials, such as coal, coconuts, nutshells, and wood. The large surface area per unit volume and a network of submicroscopic pores allows it to be ideal for adsorption applications. Activated carbon is manufactured through physical modification and thermal decomposition in a furnace, under a controlled atmosphere and temperature. Activated carbon is used to purify liquids and gases in a variety of applications, including municipal drinking water, food and beverage processing, odor removal, industrial pollution control, and point-of-use filters at home.

Coconut Shell Based

Coconut Shell based activated carbon products are well known for their signature physical properties, such as large internal surface areas characterized by microporosity along with relatively high hardness and low dust. These carbons are particularly effective in water and air applications.

A1 Catalytic Solutions, as a distributor of Coconut Shell based carbons stocks a wide range of high quality products. In addition to granular forms, we hold a number of pelletized grades (3mm, 4mm & 5mm) available for delivery to any destination worldwide. Our coconut based products adhere to the following characteristics:

Very high surface area characterized by a large proportion of micro pores.
High hardness with low dust generation.
Excellent purity, with most products exhibiting no more than 3-5% ash content.
Renewable and green raw material.
Material can be acid washed down to 1% ash content.

Coal Based

Coal based activated carbon products are commonly used across a variety of industries for a variety of applications, as it is a relatively low cost filter media for both gas and liquid applications.

A1 Catalytic Solutions stocks a variety of common granular and pelletized grades (3mm, 4mm & 5mm), in addition to powder carbon. We have excellent sourcing capabilities for a number of specialist coal based activated carbons available for direct shipment in container loads to worldwide customer destinations. Our coal based products adhere to the following characteristics:

Consistent density
Hard materials with minimal dust generation.
Economical

Wood Based

Wood based activated carbons are excellent for your decolorizing needs due to its signature porosimetry. Our wood based products adhere to the following characteristics:

High surface area characterized by a large proportion of mesopores and macropores.
Relatively low density.
Renewable source of raw material
In-house expertise is available for selection of the optimum carbon for any application.
