Type of coconut shell activated carbon
Coconut shell activated carbon comes in various types, each suited for specific applications based on their pore size, surface area, and material composition. Here are some common types:
1.Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC):
Fine powdered form used in liquid phase applications like water treatment and industrial processes.
2.Granular Activated Carbon (GAC):
Granular form used in air and water purification systems, where larger particles are preferred for filtration.
3.Pelletized Activated Carbon:
Formed into pellets for specialized applications requiring low dust and ease of handling, such as gas phase adsorption.
4.Impregnated Activated Carbon:
Treated with additional chemicals (like potassium iodide, silver, or other metals) to enhance specific adsorption capabilities for certain gases or contaminants.
5.Carbon Block Filters:
Compressed form of activated carbon used in water filtration systems, often combined with other materials to enhance filtration efficiency.
Each type has unique characteristics that make it suitable for different environmental, industrial, or medical applications where adsorption of gases, liquids, or dissolved substances is necessary.
