Manufacturer of purified water treatment coconut shell activated carbon - Carrier catalytic precious metal adsorbs gold to refine coconut shell activated carbon
Core Mechanism: Adsorption
The fundamental working principle is adsorption, not ion exchange.
It has an extremely high surface area (500-1500 m²/g or more) and a well-developed microporous structure, which acts like a magnet to trap impurities onto its surface.
Primary Functions and Applications
1. Water Treatment and Purification
Removes chlorine, chloramines, and unpleasant tastes/odors – This is a primary use in household water filters.
Adsorbs organic pollutants, such as pesticides, industrial solvents, and humic substances.
Used in point-of-use water filters, purifiers, and as a pretreatment for reverse osmosis systems.
2. Air Purification and Gas Treatment
Removes Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde, benzene, and other gaseous pollutants from indoor air.
Used in air purifiers, range hoods, and for industrial exhaust gas treatment.
Serves as the key component in gas masks and respirators.
3. Food, Beverage, and Chemical Industries
Decolorization: Widely used to bleach and purify solutions, such as in the sugar industry to produce white sugar.
Purification: Removes impurities and off-flavors in edible oils, alcoholic beverages, and pharmaceuticals.
4. Gold Recovery
Essential in the Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) and Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) processes for adsorbing gold from cyanide leach solutions. Its high hardness makes it ideal for this aggressive application.
