Bulk Coconut Shell Activated Carbon(7440-44-0)

Why are coconut shells used to produce activated carbon?                                                     

Due to their high carbon content and hardness, coconut shells are an excellent raw material
source to produce activated carbon.  Activated carbons that are produced using coconut shells as
the raw material are often sourced in geographic regions where COCONUTS are harvested, including
India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines.

How is coconut shell-based activated carbon produced?                                                         

Raw material coconut shells are first charred at the coconut grower or at a centralized facility
designed to produce char.  Activated carbon manufacturers then purchase the char and activate it
at elevated temperatures and using steam in a kiln or furnace, similar to the process for coalbased

activated carbons.  The final product is screened to a variety of mesh sizes for both vapor phase

and liquid phase applications.

What are the properties of coconut shell carbons compare to coal based carbons?

Activated carbons produced from coconut shells typically have a tighter, more microporous pore
structure than their coal-based counterparts.  This is due to the inherent pore structure of the raw
material coconut shell as compared to raw material coals.  This microporosity lends itself towards
certain applications where activated carbon is used. Also, coconut shell-based carbons tend to be

harder, more resistant to abrasion, and lower in ash than similar grades of coal-based carbons. 

What are the applications of coconut shell activated carbon ?
