Activated Carbon for Water Treatment: A Purification Revolution Within Pores

12 Nov , 2025

Five Types of Activated Carbon and Their Killer Applications

Coconut Shell Activated Carbon: The Nanoscale Guardian of Pure Water

Key Parameters:

Iodine Value 1200-1350mg/g (Industry Average 1000mg/g)

Micropore Ratio > 70% (Pore Size 0.8-1.2nm)

Optimal Applications:

Municipal Drinking Water: Chloroform Removal Rate > 99.9%

Pharmaceutical Pure Water: TOC < 10ppb (USP Standard)

Unique Technology:

Surface Fluorination Treatment: PFAS Adsorption Capacity Increased by 3 Times

Coal-Based Activated Carbon: The Heavy-Duty Defense Line for Industrial Wastewater

Superior Performance:

Compressive Strength ≥ 85N/particle (Ordinary coal-based activated carbon only 50N)

Arsenic Adsorption Capacity 45mg/g (EPA Standard Limit 0.01ppm)

Real-World Case Study: Wastewater from a Chemical Industrial Park: COD decreased from 800 to 50mg/L, saving ¥12 million in annual sewage discharge fees.

Wood-based Activated Carbon: Gentle Purification for Ecologically Sensitive Areas

Green Solution:

FSC-certified wood raw materials (zero deforestation)

Biodegradable encapsulation technology (reduces secondary pollution)

Precise Targeting:

92% humic acid removal rate (compared to 65% for coconut shell charcoal)

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC): Blitzkrieg for Crisis Response

Rapid Solution:

30-minute adsorption of microcystin (dosage 10mg/L)

Emergency Dosing System: 72-hour global air freight

Regeneration Revolution:

KC-RePAC™ technology: 3-cycle reuse, cost reduction of 60%

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): The Foundation for Long-lasting Protection

System Design:

Intelligent Filter Tank: Real-time monitoring of pressure differential and adsorption saturation

Low Pressure Drop Honeycomb Cell: Water flow rate increased to 25m/h (traditional design 15m/h)

Disruptive Industry Cases

Case 1: Singapore NEWater Project

Challenge: Reclaimed water must meet WHO drinking water standards

Solution: KC-PureMax™ coconut shell charcoal + Ozone Synergistic System

Results: Bisphenol A residue <0.01μg/L; Filter tank life extended to 5 years (contract price reduced by 40%)

Case 2: Mining Wastewater Treatment in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Pain Point: Combined pollution of cyanide and heavy metals

Traditional Solution: Treatment cost $8/ton

Kelin Solution: Coal-based activated carbon + in-situ regeneration technology

Data: Cyanide removal rate 99.99%; Cost per ton of water reduced to $2.3, annual savings of $5.7 million

Why do global water groups choose Kelin?

“KC-PureMax™’s nano-confining effect can simultaneously adsorb ionic and colloidal pollutants, a revolutionary breakthrough that traditional activated carbon cannot achieve.”
