F-18 Wood Powder Activated Carbon for Beverage Decolorization

Key Features

• Superior Meso-Macro Pore Structure: Phosphoric acid activation delivers ideal pores for color, pigment and large impurity removal, with over 95% decolorization in single-pass treatment.

• Rapid Decolorization Kinetics: Fast liquid adsorption reaches equilibrium in 15–30 minutes, cutting batch time and boosting production efficiency.

• Food-Grade Safety: With strict heavy metal control and approval for direct food contact.

• Optimized pH: Natural pH 3–5 suits acidic beverages and sensitive food ingredients, with adjustable pH for specific uses.

• Low Ash & High Purity: Ash <5% and high carbon purity reduce contamination and maximize adsorption capacity.

• Excellent Filtration: Optimized particle size ensures clear filtrate and low pressure drop in common filtration setups.

Applications

F-18 powdered wood activated carbon serves a wide range of industries:

• Beverages: decolorization and purification of juices, soft drinks, beer and other drinks

• Alcohol: clarification and purification of wine, spirits and liquors

• Pharmaceuticals: purification and decolorization of medicines and intermediates

• Edible Oils: color and impurity removal for refined oil products

• Sugar: efficient decolorization of syrups and liquid sugars

• Chemicals: purification of fine chemicals and additives

• Water Treatment: organic impurity and odor removal

Technical Advantage

• Optimized meso-macro pores for superior decolorization of pigments and organic impurities

FAQ

Q1: How to store F-18 activated carbon?

A: Store in a cool, dry place (<25°C, <60% RH) away from moisture and strong odors. Sealed storage maintains performance for 24+ months.

Q2: How is F-18 different from coal-based activated carbon?

A: F-18 (wood-based) has larger mesopores/macropores for liquid decolorization/purification, plus lower ash and neutral taste. Coal-based carbons suit gas-phase treatment (e.g., sulfur compound removal).

Q3: Can F-18 be used for alcohol purification?

A: Yes. It efficiently removes color, odor, and organic impurities from wines/spirits while preserving desirable flavors.

Q4: What industries use F-18 activated carbon?

A: Widely applied in food & beverage, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, sugar processing, edible oil refining, and chemical purification.
