Coal powdered activated carbon
Rapid Adsorption

Coal Powdered
Activated Carbon

Ultra-fine coal-based PAC for rapid adsorption in batch processes and water treatment plants.

Product Overview

Coal-based powdered activated carbon (PAC) is produced from bituminous coal through steam activation and fine grinding. With particle sizes of 200-325 mesh (D50: 15-25μm), it provides extremely rapid adsorption kinetics due to its high surface-to-volume ratio.

Widely used in municipal water treatment plants as a dosing agent, and in waste incineration flue gas treatment for dioxin and heavy metal removal. Cost-effective solution for batch treatment processes where rapid contact time is essential.

Key Applications

  • Municipal water treatment plants
  • Industrial wastewater treatment
  • Flue gas treatment (dioxin removal)
  • Waste incineration emission control
  • Emergency spill response
  • Pharmaceutical purification
  • Chemical process decolorization
  • Soil remediation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is coal powdered activated carbon?
Coal-based PAC is finely ground activated carbon (200-325 mesh) from bituminous coal. Its ultra-fine particles provide rapid adsorption kinetics for batch treatment in water treatment plants and flue gas treatment systems.
How is PAC dosed in water treatment?
PAC is mixed with water to form a slurry and injected into the treatment stream before sedimentation. Typical dosing rates are 5-50 mg/L depending on contaminant levels and target water quality.
Coal PAC vs wood PAC?
Coal PAC is more cost-effective for general water treatment and flue gas applications. Wood PAC has higher methylene blue value for superior decolorization. Choose based on your primary application needs.
Is coal PAC suitable for flue gas treatment?
Yes, coal PAC is widely used in waste incineration and power plant flue gas treatment for dioxin, furan, and heavy metal removal. It is injected into the flue gas stream before baghouse filtration.
What packaging is available?
25kg PP woven bags on pallets, or 500kg jumbo bags. Custom packaging with your brand available. All shipments include Certificate of Analysis (COA).
