  • Nut Shell Activated Carbon

Classification Introduction

Nut Shell Activated Carbon is an extremely hard adsorbent produced from renewable coconut and other nut shells by an activation process. This form of carbon is recognised for its hardness, denseness of its microporous structure and its high strength in the adsorption of low molecular weight compounds. Typically granulated, this form of carbon is characterised by its natural products. It possesses good abrasion resistance and long life in liquid and vapor phase. With its unique shape of pore volume being predominantly micropore, this form of carbon is ideal for water purification, gold recovery and chemical processing applications. This highly efficient, environmentally-friendly filtration media is ideal for use in demanding industrial applications where purity and product durability as well as consistent quality are essential requirements.

Product Advantages and Characteristics

  • Excellent in Hardness and Resistance to Wear: Diameter of cells rather less than in charcoal. This causes a material saving by preventing ‘attrition losses’, especially during backwashing and general handling.
  • Good Microporosity: Well developed microporous structure suitable for efficient adsorption of low molecular weight compounds, gases and dissolved impurity.
  • Regeneration: Does not break down in continuous process of reactivation, thus giving many years’ economy and less refuse.
  • Low Ash: We can supply in natural state, free from objectionable inorganic impurities; no “washing” required.

Relevant Application Scenarios

Water Treatment
Metal Mining
Air / Gas Treatment
Food & Beverage

Water Treatment

Purpose of Use: Carbon produced from ground fruit and nut pits used for various removal solutions including:

Adsorption process medium

Industrial processes such as the treatment of process water and wastewater, especially for removal of organic contaminants, chemicals and color

Purification of drinking water by chlorination, and treatment of odor, taste compounds, and synthetic organic chemicals

Pre-treatment for desalination whole process treating organic foulants (including into RO Systems)

Metal Mining

Description：A dense granule classified by the manufacture as having exceptionally strong structural characteristics and resiliency to the challenging environmental conditions found throughout the mining operation while exhibiting great adsorption rates.

Application(s) for Gold Recovery

For the extraction of gold from the cyanide complex components in the pulp and leachate processes (utilizing carbon in these processes).

Air / Gas Treatment

Classification Description: Effective in vapor phase applications where the microporous structure will adsorb gases and odours efficiently.

Air purifying

Removes VOCs and odours in the treatment of air for commercial and industrial premises.

Food & Beverage

Description: GAC decolorizes and purifies food products by removing impurities and off-flavors, maintaining quality and shelf life.

Food Decolorization

It adsorbs unwanted colors and contaminants from syrups and oils, ensuring product clarity.

Food Preservation

GAC helps control odors and spoilage agents, extending the freshness of stored food items.
