How to Choose Activated Carbon

We have expert guidance on how to select the right activated carbon for your application to ensure you get the best product for your filtration or purification needs.

Guidelines for selecting activated carbon

Browse the activated carbon selection guide below to help you choose the best activated carbon product.

  • 01

    By Application Area

    Different application scenarios require the selection of different types of activated carbon:

    • Water treatment

      Granular activated carbon (GAC) is commonly used and is suitable for removing organic matter, residual chlorine and odor.

    • Air purification

      Pellet activated carbon is suitable for gas treatment, with high mechanical strength, low resistance and easy regeneration.

    • Food and beverage decolorization

      Wood-based powdered activated carbon, easy to disperse and good filtration effect.

  • 02

    By Raw Materials

    The raw material of activated carbon determines its different properties and application scenarios:

    • Coconut shell activated carbon

      Microporous mainly, suitable for removing small molecules of organic matter and precious metal recovery.

    • Coal-based activated carbon

      Wide pore size distribution, strong adsorption capacity, suitable for water treatment and air purification.

    • Wood-based activated carbon

      Macroporous, suitable for the adsorption of large molecules of organic matter, such as for decolorization treatment.

  • 03

    By Form

    Activated carbon is available in three forms: granules, pellet and powder, each of which is suitable for different application scenarios:

    • Granular Activated Carbon

      Widely used in water treatment, air purification, gold recovery, solvent recovery, soil remediation and other fields.

    • Pellet Activated Carbon

      Designed for gas purification, pressure reduction, and abrasion resistance. Widely used in air purification, desulfurization and denitrification.

    • Powdered Activated Carbon

      Fine particle size, fast adsorption speed. Especially suitable for food and beverage decolorization, medical industry, flue gas mercury removal and other fields.

  • 04

    Focus on Performance Indicators;

    When choosing activated carbon, you need to pay attention to the following performance indicators:

    • Iodine value / Specific surface area

      Reflects the adsorption capacity, the higher the value, the stronger the adsorption performance.

    • Mechanical strength

      Determines the service life and durability. The higher the strength, the better the abrasion resistance.

    • Ash content

      The lower the ash content, the higher the purity of the activated carbon, which is suitable for drinking water purification and other applications that require high purity.
