Nut Shell Activated Carbon

Nutshell activated carbon is a high-performance sorbent produced from certified agricultural by-products — primarily coconut, almond, palm, and walnut shells. Following the activation of the high temperature vapor, the compact lignocellulose material is converted to a hard, high-porosity carbon structure with an unusually high percentage (0.5 – 1.8 nm) of the micro-pores.

This unique pore structure provides fast adsorption dynamics and high retention capacity for low molecular weight compounds. Compared to coal-based alternatives, microcarbons exhibit superior hardness, lower ash content, and greater chemical purity, making them ideal for critical separation processes.

Completely renewable and virtually dust-free, they provide longer service life and reactivation ability. It is extensively used in drinking water cleaning, food and drink decoloration, gold recycling, medicine treatment, and industry air filtering. Can be used in a variety of grid sizes and activation levels to meet the particular needs of the application.
