Company Profile
Wood Activated Carbon is an acid washed high purity high activity granular activated carbon manufactured by steam activation from carefully selected coconut shells.
Wood charcoal is an important raw material for Activated Carbon. It is not a very active adsorption material for either liquids or vapors because its fine structure is blocked by residues. To convert the charcoal to "Activated Mode" this structure must be opened up by removing the tarry residues and volatiles. The most widely used method today consists in heating the granulated wood charcoal in a rotary kiln to low red heat in an atmosphere of superheated steam. The steam prevents the charcoal from burning away by excluding oxygen. Meanwhile the volatile tars can be distilled away and are carried off with the steam, leaving the pore structure open. The treated charcoal is run off into closed containers and allowed to cool.
Pore Volume Distribution - Wood Activated Carbon has its own unique distribution of Mesopores r > 1-25nm.
