Granular Activated Carbon Coconut Shell | Multiple Mesh | Multi-Pack

Granular Activated Carbon – Coconut

Granular activated carbon (GAC) from coconut shells is a steam-activated adsorbent material, characterized by a high internal surface area and high adsorption capacity. It is suitable for industrial applications in water purification and chemical processes, with the possibility of reactivation for repeated use.

Main Features

• Very high internal surface area
• Can be reactivated
• Compliant with UNI ISO EN 12915 – suitable for water treatment for human consumption

Industrial Applications

• Potable water purification
• Process water and condensate treatment
• Wastewater purification
• Removal of organic contaminants: pesticides, chlorinated and aromatic solvents, THMs
• Elimination of odors, taste and undesired compounds
• Purification and decolorization of chemical and food intermediates
