Technical Advantages

High Mechanical Strength & Cost-Effective Purification

Our coal-based activated carbon is manufactured from premium bituminous coal through steam activation, delivering exceptional hardness (>90%) and abrasion resistance for demanding industrial applications.

With iodine adsorption values exceeding 900-1000 mg/g and customizable particle sizes (4×6 mesh to 12×40 mesh), it ensures optimal performance in drinking water treatment, wastewater purification, and air filtration systems. The high bulk density (350-550 kg/m³) and superior CTC adsorption (50-90%) make it ideal for VOC removal, solvent recovery, and gas-phase applications.

Available in granular (GAC), powdered (PAC), and columnar forms for maximum operational flexibility.
