Product parameters
Activated carbon selection table.
Recommended starting ranges for technical discussion. Final values depend on the stream, test method and buyer specification.
| Carbon option | Iodine value | Typical size | Suitable conditions | Selection effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wood PAC | 900–1200 mg/g | 200 mesh | Sugar, syrup and ingredient decolorization | Mesopores suited to color bodies |
| Coconut shell PAC | 1000–1200 mg/g | 200 mesh | Taste, odor and trace-organic control | High micropore capacity |
| Acid-washed PAC | 900–1100 mg/g | 200–325 mesh | Low-mineral applications | Controlled ash and soluble impurities |
| Granular carbon | 900–1100 mg/g | 12×40 mesh | Beverage-water polishing | Continuous fixed-bed operation |

Frequently asked questions
Technical answers for buyers.
Need a faster review? Send the available process data with your inquiry.
Yes. Share your process data and target limits so we can prepare a relevant evaluation sample. Freight is normally paid by the buyer.
Iodine value, particle size, strength, moisture and packing can be discussed against the equipment and required outlet quality.
Please provide the stream composition, target contaminants, inlet and outlet limits, flow, temperature, humidity or pH, contact time and current equipment.
Service life depends on actual contaminant loading, competing compounds and operating conditions. Pilot testing and breakthrough monitoring provide the most reliable estimate.
