Activated Carbon Micron Powder, Size: 1500 µm

Activated Carbon Micron Powder (1500 µm)

Product Overview

The Activated Carbon Micron Powder (1500 µm) is a coarser grade of activated carbon designed for applications requiring higher mechanical strength, lower pressure drop, and effective adsorption. Its larger particle size makes it ideal for use in filtration systems, air and water purification, and industrial processes where controlled flow rates are essential.

Key Features

   • Reduces pressure drop in filtration systems, enabling efficient flow and long service life.
2. High Adsorption Capacity:
   • Effectively removes contaminants such as organic compounds, odors, and heavy metals.
3. Enhanced Mechanical Strength:
   • Durable under physical stress, making it suitable for industrial-scale systems.
4. Chemical Stability:
   • Maintains performance across a wide range of temperatures and pH conditions.
5. Sustainably Sourced:
   • Produced from renewable materials like coconut shells, wood, or coal.

Applications

1. Water Filtration:
   • Ideal for municipal water treatment plants, home filtration systems, and industrial wastewater treatment.
   • Removes chlorine, organic impurities, and heavy metals from water.
2. Air Purification:
   • Used in HVAC systems, industrial exhaust treatment, and personal air purifiers.
   • Captures volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and particulate matter.
3. Food and Beverage:
   • Decolorizes liquids like syrups and oils.
   • Ensures purity in beverages by adsorbing unwanted flavors and contaminants.
4. Pharmaceuticals:
   • Applied in drug purification and as a carrier for pharmaceutical formulations.
5. Industrial Uses:
   • Utilized in gas purification systems, such as for hydrogen sulfide or ammonia removal.
   • Acts as a catalyst support in chemical processes.
6. Gold Recovery:
   • Commonly used in mining for extracting gold through the cyanide leaching process.
7. Odor Control:
   • Used in sewage treatment plants, landfills, and composting facilities.
