VC-GAC-Coconut 4 x 8 is a coconut based granular
activated carbon made especially for use
in a vapor applications. Its particle
size and pore structure have been specifically
designed to provide the
best adsorption of impurities from vapor
steam with the least flow resistance.
Coconut shell activated carbon comes from
coconut shells that have undergone a steam
activation process to create its activated
carbon form. During activation, it creates
millions of pores at the surface of the
carbon thus increasing the total surface
area. Activated carbon pores can be divided
into three categories, Micro-pores (less
than 2nm dia.), Meso-pores (range 2-25
nm), and Macro-pores (more than 25nm dia.).
Coconut shell carbon has mainly micro-pores
to macro-pores and due to its unique distribution
of pores diameter, it is very popular
in the gas phase purification and potable
water purification industries.
Coconut shell carbon is harder than granular
coal based carbon. It also has lower attrition
and higher yields when reactivated. It
has a long life expectancy and superior
removal efficiency. Coconut shell performs
best at 70-80 RH.
This product is manufactured to adsorb
odiferous by-products, and VOC's,
as well as adsorption of trace contaminates.
VC-GAC-Coconut 4 x 8 is processed from coconut shell for its
hardness and activated at high temperature
using steam process to develop internal
surface area. The activated product is
crushed and classified by size. |
