Coal-Based Activated Carbon

Strong, cost-efficient activated carbon with a wide pore range for water, wastewater and industrial use.

Coal-based activated carbon is produced by activating selected grades of coal at high temperature. It develops a wide range of pore sizes, so it adsorbs both small and medium-sized molecules, and it has the mechanical strength needed for large filter beds.

It delivers dependable performance at a competitive cost, which makes it a practical choice for high-volume water, wastewater and industrial treatment.

Key properties

  • High surface area
  • Wide pore size distribution
  • Excellent mechanical strength
  • Effective removal of a broad range of contaminants
  • Cost-efficient performance

Applications in India

  • Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment
  • Industrial filtration
  • Chemical processing and purification
  • Emission control
  • Groundwater remediation

Choosing the right grade

Coal-based grades are selected by iodine number, methylene blue value, particle size and hardness. For wastewater and mixed contaminants, a grade with a balanced pore structure usually gives the best cost per unit treated.

Send us your application, your current specification if you have one, the quantity you need and your delivery location. Our team will recommend a grade and share its technical data sheet with your quote.
