Description Panthera Activated Carbon – Coconut Shell Activated Carbon is highly effective at adsorbing impurities such as chemicals, pollutants, odors, and, in specialized applications like gold recovery, gold ore. WHAT IS ACTIVATED CARBON? Activated carbon, also referred to as activated charcoal, undergoes a process called activation to enhance its porosity and increase surface area. This activation process, achieved through steam or chemical methods, creates numerous small spaces within each carbon granule, known as pores. These carbon pores can vary in size, ranging from large (macropores) to small (micropores). The activated carbon produced as a result of the activation process possesses a large surface area, making it highly effective at adsorbing impurities such as chemicals, pollutants, odors, and, in specialized applications like gold recovery, gold ore. Adsorption, the process by which atoms, ions, or molecules adhere to a surface, is the primary function of activated carbon. The size of the carbon pores plays a crucial role, influencing the level of adsorption and determining the effectiveness of the adsorption of specific substances. TYPES OF ACTIVATED CARBON COCONUT SHELL Hardness (ASTM): 99% Pore Structure: Micropores COAL Hardness (ASTM): 90% Pore Structure: Meso & Micropores MACADAMIA NUT SHELL Hardness (ASTM): 96% Pore Structure: Meso & Micropores WOOD Hardness (ASTM): Pore Structure: Meso & Macropores BENEFITS OF COCONUT SHELL ACTIVATED CARBON More Uniform Micro-Pores & Higher Density resulting in more effective adsorption processes and thus more efficient at removing organic compounds. Odorless & Tasteless making it superior for water treatment and food and beverage processing. Highly Durable & Cost Effective allowing for longer use of each granule and higher resistance to wear and tear. Renewable & Sustainable limiting detrimental social and environmental impacts inherent with other types of activated carbon QUALITY CONTROL Panthera places immense value on the integrity of our products.
