What can coconut shell activated carbon remove?

The porosity of coconut shell activated carbon is much higher than that of other forms of activated carbon. Its micropores are 50% more than those of bituminous coal activated carbon. Therefore, it can absorb pollutants and volatile organic compounds, which is why it is regarded as one of the best materials for water filtration. Essentially, this means that coconut shell activated carbon is the preferred carbon for removing volatile organic compounds (also known as VOCs) from the drinking water intake system (also known as POE system). It can also remove odors and unpleasant tastes from drinking water, which is why coconut shell activated carbon is often used in water filters.

What are the uses of coconut shell activated carbon?

1. Wastewater purification

2. Catalyst carrier (usually a solid material with a high surface area and chemical stability, used to fix catalysts)

3. Absorbing gold from gold solutions (this is called precious metal recovery)

4. Removal of organic impurities in various beverages and food applications

5. Drinking water purification

6. Medical equipment applications (usually used in blood filtration devices such as kidney dialysis machines)
