Where is the honeycomb activated carbon treatment used?

03 Dec , 2025

Honeycomb activated carbon, with its unique honeycomb geometry, has shone brightly in areas where traditional granular or columnar activated carbon has failed. Its core advantage lies in maximizing specific surface area while achieving ultra-low

airflow resistance, making it the ultimate solution for controlling high-volume, low-concentration pollution. Here are its disruptive application scenarios:

Five Core Application Areas

1. Industrial Waste Gas Treatment: Heavy Pollution Buster

In chemical plants, painting workshops, and semiconductor cleanrooms, Kelin honeycomb activated carbon efficiently removes:

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Toluene/Xylene removal rate > 99%

Acidic Gases: H₂S, SO₂ adsorption capacity ≥ 35%

Energy Saving Characteristics: Pressure drop less than 300Pa (40% more energy efficient than granular activated carbon systems)

2. Indoor Air Purification: Invisible Guardian of Public Spaces

Airports, hospitals, and shopping malls rely on honeycomb activated carbon filtration:

Formaldehyde Removal: 96-hour continuous adsorption > 90% (GB/T 18801-2022)

Pathogen Interception: Equipped with Ag⁺ antibacterial coating, microbial inactivation rate 99.2%

Zero Dust Leakage: Stacked structural design eliminates secondary pollution

3. Automotive and Aerospace: Extreme Environment Purification

Application Scenarios Performance Technological Breakthroughs

Automotive Air Conditioning Filters PM2.5 filtration efficiency 99.97% Moisture resistance >85%RH (anti-mildew)

Aircraft ventilation system: Stable operation from -40℃ to 250℃ DO-160G aviation certification

4. Food and Pharmaceutical: A line of defense for product purity

Edible oil deodorization: Adsorption of free fatty acids (FFA) to <0.1%

Pharmaceutical solvent recovery: Dichloromethane recovery rate ≥98% (USP<467> standard)

Compliance certification: Food-grade coconut shell-based honeycomb charcoal meets FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 standards

5. Emergency gas filtration: A life-or-death barrier

Gas masks and chemical spill emergency kits use honeycomb charcoal:

0.1-second response speed: Instantaneous adsorption of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) >95%

Why Honeycomb Carbon Demands Specialist Suppliers

Not all activated carbon providers excel in honeycomb tech. Manufacturing requires:

Precision extrusion to maintain pore integrity during high-temperature activation

Raw material expertise—blending coal, wood, or coconut powders for target adsorption profiles

Quality control for compressive strength (>0.8 MPa) and benzene adsorption rates (>37% dynamic)

Kelin Carbon exemplifies this specialization, offering 100–150 PPI honeycomb units with 40–80% CTC adsorption for stubborn industrial toxins—proving Asia’s technical prowess in engineered solutions.

Future Trend: The Era of Structured Adsorption

With increasingly stringent regulations such as the EU PFAS limit (EU 2021/1157), honeycomb activated carbon, with its:

50% reduction in energy consumption (compared to traditional adsorption towers)

70% reduction in footprint (modular installation)

has become an essential option for sustainable industrial development.

From factory chimneys to gas masks, Kelin Carbon uses structured technology to purify the polluted world.
