Coconut is a crop widely grown in southern Vietnam. Coconut tree, from root to tip will bring economic value to the grower. Today, the utilization of coconut husk to produce activated charcoal has brought a significant source of income for farmers.
Coconut shell / coconut skull was purchased from the coconut meat processing facilities, clean shaved fibers, put into sealed combustion furnace, the skull of coconut charcoal products with different sizes. Coconut shell activated carbon produced from coconut charcoal granules skull, according to physical methods, activated by superheated steam from 850 ° C to 950 ° C. Coconut shell activated carbon is usually black, granular little ash, moisture content of 5-25%, particle size uniform flakes, coconut shell charcoal lighter should be large at around 550kg / m3.
Due to the large CO concentrations and very hard carbon, coconut shell was chosen as the ideal material for the production of activated carbon. Coconut Vietnam is ranked high value area, next to India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines. Coconut shell activated carbon is a material consisting mainly of elemental carbon in amorphous form, features, effects are diverse and special, porous structure, the surface area is extremely large generated in the active phase of the hollow structure inside. In addition, the nature of the lateral stiffness of the natural grain, ensuring high mechanical strength, low ash, low regeneration cycle losses, increase efficiency during use.
Product quality coconut shell activated carbon is tightly controlled process equipment activated by the automatic and semi-automatic advanced level, fully meet the requirements of customers.
Coconut shell activated carbon is used very much in practice used to remove color, odor, heavy metals, pesticides, organic compounds. Removes dirt impurities is equal to gram or gram COD is retained in 1kg Activated Carbon. Clean traces of heavy metals dissolved in water. Clean thoroughly dissolved organic matter, reducing smell and taste, particularly industrial wastewater containing toxic organic molecules or molecules with high durability surface prevents the biological treatment process, activated charcoal will help wastewater treatment process easier. Water passing through activated charcoal mostly soluble organic molecules are retained on the surface mat.Ngoai during activated carbon filter that contains and nourishes bacteria capable of decomposing organic matter bond to generate free surface, allowing retention of new organic molecules.
