Coal Based
Activated Carbon
High-performance carbon from premium Chinese anthracite and bituminous coal.
Product Overview
Our coal-based activated carbon is manufactured from carefully selected anthracite coal in our Ningxia and Shanxi production facilities. Using a combination of steam and chemical activation processes, we produce carbon with a balanced distribution of micropores and mesopores, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.
Coal-based carbon offers excellent cost-effectiveness for large-scale applications while maintaining high adsorption performance. It is the most widely used type of activated carbon globally, particularly in water treatment and air purification.
Key Applications
- Municipal water treatment
- Industrial wastewater
- Flue gas treatment
- Air purification & VOC removal
- Mercury removal
- Solvent recovery
- Catalyst support
- Soil remediation
