Q What forms can activated carbon be supplied in?
A Activated carbon can be manufactured commercially in granular, pelletised and powdered forms. Different sizes are defined for different applications. For example, in air or gas treatment, the restriction to flow is import, and so coarse particles are used to minimise pressure loss. In liquid treatment, where the removal process is slower, then finer particles are used to improve the rate, or kinetics, of the purification process.

Q What equipment should equipped in a activated carbon factory?
A A steam activation factory should be equipped its factory according to the procedure:
1. Carbonizing furnace, change the biomass into charcoal first.
2. Charcoal treatment, meshing and crushing.
3. Steam activation kiln.
4. Raw AC. Treatment system, crushing and milling, also including acid washing or other procedure.
5. A lab for testing.

Q How to reactivation the spend activated carbon?
A Spent (waste) granular or pelletized or Powder activated carbon can be recycled by thermal reactivation, in which the spent carbon is processed through a high temperature reactivation furnace at or above 850°C. The adsorbed organics on the carbon are thermally decomposed. The resulting gases are fed through an afterburner and a treatment system to allow emission to atmosphere in accordance with most stringent environmental regulations. Recycling by thermal reactivation is an environmentally responsible disposal method that helps to reduce CO2 emissions over the activated carbon and contributes to a sustainable use of the world's resources.

Q What are the benefits of using activated carbon?
A If it is not already apparent, activated carbon purifies our world. It makes water drinkable; the air breathable and food stuffs edible. It ensures we have the best healthcare, and that we can enjoy the freedoms, and technological advances of the modern world.
With Xingyuan, we can all create a Pure World, just as we have been doing since 1990.

Q How is activated carbon made?
A Activated carbon is commercially manufactured from coal, wood, fruit stones (mainly coconut but also walnut, peach) and derivatives of other processes (gas raffinates). Of these coal, wood and coconut are the most widely available.
The product is manufactured by a thermal process, but in the case of raw materials such as wood, a promoter (such as an acid) is also used to develop the required porosity.
Downstream processes crush, screen, wash and/or grind the multitude of products to the client's requirements.
