Applications of Coal-Based Granular Activated Carbon

Water Treatment
Our granular activated carbon for water treatment effectively removes chlorine, organic matter, pesticides, and other contaminants. Widely used in drinking water purification, municipal water systems, and industrial wastewater treatment.

Air Filtration & Gas Purification
Designed for granular activated carbon for air filtration, it captures VOCs, odors, and harmful gases in industrial exhaust systems, HVAC filters, and air scrubbers.

Solvent Recovery & Chemical Processing
Coal-based GAC is ideal for solvent recovery, gas separation, and purification processes in chemical plants.

Frequently Asked Question
What is coal-based granular activated carbon used for?
+
-
It is mainly used for water treatment, air purification, solvent recovery, and industrial gas purification.
How do I choose the right mesh size?
+
-
Mesh size affects flow rate and adsorption efficiency. We offer 4×8, 8×16, 8×30, 12×40 for different applications.
How does coal-based GAC compare to coconut-shell GAC?
+
-
Coal-based GAC generally offers a broader pore size distribution and better handling of larger organic molecules, making it highly effective in industrial wastewater treatment, gas purification, and odor control. Coconut-shell GAC, on the other hand, is rich in micropores and excels at removing small-molecule contaminants such as VOCs and certain chemical odors.
