Coconut Shell Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) | Developed porous structure, strong adsorption capacity

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) from coconut shells is produced from 100% natural coconut shells, featuring a developed porous structure, large surface area, and strong adsorption capacity. With high mechanical strength, long material lifespan, and various particle sizes, the product is suitable for water treatment systems, exhaust gas treatment, and numerous industrial applications.

Overview

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) from coconut shells is produced using high-temperature steam activation, which can reach approximately 1,000°C under anaerobic conditions. This process helps develop the porous structure, creating a high contact surface area and the ability to adsorb impurities, colors, odors, organic matter, and certain pollutants in water and air.

The product uses 100% natural coconut shells with raw materials sourced from Vietnam. GAC is available in various particle sizes and can be produced according to requirements, making it suitable for many treatment systems and industrial applications.
