Metals Recovery

Activated carbon is a valuable raw material in the recovery of precious metals such as gold and silver from their ore.

Waste Water

Waste Water / Effluent Water Purification with activated carbon.

Drinking Water Purification 

Drinking Water Purification

A filter with granular activated carbon (GAC) is a proven option to remove certain chemicals, particularly organic chemicals, from water.

Food & Beverage

Widely used throughout the food and beverage industry for decaffeination, removal of undesirable components such as odour, taste, or colour, and more.

Air Emission Purification

For emission control with respect to VOC or inorganic components.

Biogas Purification

Biogas Purification

Activated carbon is a common medium used to purify biogas because of its high adsorption capacity and renewable properties.

Remediation

For remedial action / recovery of oil / groundwater that may be contaminated by industrial activity.

Chemical Purification

Chemical Purification with mobile activated carbon filters.

The Grade we offer are

A. Water and Waste Water Purification

Our WT grades are specifically designed to offer maximum performance in Water and Waste Water Purification. Manufactured from select grades of Coconut Shell charcoal, our WT carbons they are of high strength, attrition resistance and best adsorption.

Adsorption

CSAC, like other activated carbons, excels at adsorption. Its porous structure with a large surface area allows it to trap contaminants like organic compounds, chlorine, and some heavy metals.

Low Cost

Compared to some other treatment methods, CSAC can be a relatively inexpensive solution, especially when considering its reusability (depending on the contaminant).

Natural Precursor

Coconut shells are a renewable resource, making CSAC an attractive option from a sustainability standpoint.

Applications:

Color Removal

CSAC can be effective in removing color-causing compounds from water, improving its aesthetic quality.

Organic Contaminant Removal

It can adsorb various organic pollutants like pesticides, herbicides, and some industrial chemicals.

Pre-treatment

CSAC can be used as a pre-treatment step before other purification methods, reducing the load on processes like chlorination or reverse osmosis.

WT carbons bearing NSF certification are just the right product for this application

B. Air and Vapour Phase Purification

Activated carbon in different forms (mainly granular, pelletized, cloth, etc.) is used to reduce pollutant gases to very low concentrations. In most cases the activated carbons must be highly microporous to maximize the adsorption of the gases and vapors on the micropores.

There are many gas purification processes using activated carbon, among which the most important are hydrogen sulfide removal from natural gas, filtering breathing air in air-conditioning systems (including the removal of odors, radon, etc., in recirculated air), retention of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides from flue gases, gasoline vapor recovery in gasoline loading facilities, etc.,

Our VP Grades of Activated carbon have their  pore  structure designed to provide best adsorption of impurities with minimum resistance to flow in a  wide range of filters.

We offer these standard sizes:

US Mesh 4×8, 4×10.

CTC Activity of 50%, 55% and 60%.

We can also undertake to supply carbons to suit customer specific needs.

C. Gold Recovery

Gold is a highly priced metal and therefore its most efficient extraction from ore is critical.

Activated carbon is used in gold mining to extract gold from ore using cyanide leaching agents. The carbon adsorbs the gold cyanide complex, leaving behind contaminants, which is further proceeded to recover gold.

Coconut shell Activated Carbon is a preferred material for use in Gold Extraction due to several key properties:

High Adsorption Capacity

It has a very large surface area with numerous tiny pores that effectively trap gold particles from solution.

Excellent Strength

Compared to other activated carbons, coconut shell-based ones are extremely hard and resistant to wear and tear. This is crucial in the gold mining process where the carbon comes into contact with abrasive materials.

Fast Adsorption Kinetics

It can quickly capture gold particles from the surrounding liquid, making the extraction process efficient.

Regeneration Capability

The used activated carbon can be treated to desorb the gold, allowing for re-use in the extraction process. This reduces waste and makes the operation more economical.

Overall, coconut shell activated carbon plays a vital role in the efficient and economical extraction of gold by providing a highly effective and reusable method for capturing gold particles from solution.

Our standard GR Grades are:

US Mesh 6×12, 6×16 and 8×16.

CTC Activity of 50%, 55% and 60%.

We can also undertake to supply carbons to suit customer specific needs.
