Production Steps of Activated Carbon

1. Raw Material Selection
  • Choose carbon-rich materials such as coconut shells, wood, coal, or nut shell.
  • Raw materials are crushed and screened to achieve uniform particle size.

2. Carbonization
  • Heat the raw materials to 400-700°C in an oxygen-limited environment to remove volatile compounds and moisture.
  • This process forms carbonized char with preliminary porosity.

3. Activation
  • Physical Activation: Use steam or CO₂ at high temperatures (800-1100°C) to expand pores and create a microporous structure.
  • Chemical Activation: Impregnate with chemicals (e.g., phosphoric acid or zinc chloride) followed by heating to enhance pore development.

4. Washing and Purification
  • Remove residual chemicals and ash through acid/water washing (for chemically activated carbon).
  • Adjust pH to neutral and reduce impurity content.

5. Drying
· Dry the activated carbon to reduce moisture content to below 5% using rotary dryers or ovens.

6. Screening and Grading
  • Sieve the product into standardized particle sizes (e.g., granular, powdered, or pelleted forms).
  • Classify based on adsorption performance indicators (e.g., iodine value, hardness).

7. Packaging
  • Package in sealed, moisture-proof bags to preserve adsorption activity.
  • Label specifications (type, iodine value, moisture, ash content) for commercial distribution.
