Coconut shell activated carbon in Japan

Southern Carbon is one of the biggest suppliers of coconut shell activated carbon in Japan. Like the rest of the world, activated carbon in Japan is primarily used in purification processes. In most industries, activated carbon is a preferred adsorbent for water and gas treatment due to its reliability, efficiency, and dynamic nature. Although there are standardised methods to manufacture activated carbon, with a few added steps, it can be processed to achieve targeted goals and applications.For example, impregnated activated carbon can be modified to target specific pollutants. With more than two decades in the industry, we have built a family of trusted customers all over the world, and as a leading manufacturer and exporter of activated carbon, we have always adapted to the newest technologies to provide our customers with high-end products.

Types of activated carbon in Japan

One of the most sought-after types of activated charcoal is coconut shell activated carbon in Japan and many other countries. Even though coconut shell-based activated carbon in Japan is popular, especially in the water treatment industry, there are many kinds of activated carbon manufactured industrially, and they all have slightly different properties and targeted goals that are suited for their application.Activated carbon can be made from various raw materials, such as coconut husk, as we have mentioned before. Besides coconut husk, wood, coal, bamboo, and  lignite are used in the industrial manufacturing of activated charcoal, and based on the raw material and the production process, the final product can have slightly different characteristics, even though the defining quality of all types of activated carbon is the same: high adsorption.

Coconut shell-based activated carbon

Coconut shell activated carbon in Japan is utilised in a number of industries due to its unique qualities, and the coconut palms from which we get the raw materials to produce activated carbon are very similar to activated carbon itself; it is a plant with countless uses. The coconut husk collected first goes through the preparation phase; later, it is carbonized and activated to form activated charcoal made from coconut husk.Activated carbon in Japan made from coconut shells contains many micropores, which make it a highly effective adsorbent that can remove pollutants from water and gases. There are different methods to activate charcoal made from the carbonization process, and based on the method, the final result can have slightly different qualities. Manufacturers of coconut shell activated carbon in Japan typically use the vapour activation method to activate the charcoal, which also removes any dangerous chemicals that could contaminate the substances it comes into contact with.Coconut shells are a readily available raw material in countries where they’re abundant, making them a convenient raw material for activated charcoal production in such places. The porosity and high surface area of activated carbon are important qualities, and the micropores and mesopores in coconut shell activated charcoal with a width of 5–50 nm make them ideal for adsorbing small molecular-sized pollutants. Additionally, coconut shell activated carbon in Japan has a neutral pH and can be produced in any size.

Qualities of coconut shell activated carbon

If purification is the intent, whether it is water treatment or chemical gas treatment, activated carbon made from coconut shell is a good choice. There are many reasons for activated carbon to be one of the top choices among industries all over the world, especially in Asia. Here, we will look into some of those.

Ecological impact: The activated carbon we manufacture from coconut shell is a highly durable product. It lessens the ecological impact, and besides that, as one of the most cultivated plants in the world, coconut husk is a renewable raw material as well as biodegradable. As we grow more and more aware of our impact on the environment, coconut shell is an ideal solution for purification needs in various industries as it doesn’t leave any dire ecological impact on our environment.

Safety: Another reason for the popularity of coconut shell activated carbon in Japan and many other places is its safe nature. It is an organic raw material, and the activated carbon manufactured from it is non-toxic. As we already know, activated carbon can be made from a number of raw materials, but when it comes to applications such as food and beverage processing and drinking water purification, activated carbon made using coconut shell is the best and safest option out there on the market.

Adsorption quality: High adsorption is a given when it comes to any kind of activated carbon, but activated carbon made of coconut shell is a product with superior quality. It has a high iodine number, which is an essential quality control parameter, and the high iodine value and superior pore structure make it one of the most superior products compared to activated carbon made from any other material. Combined with impressive adsorption qualities, activated carbon made from coconut shell is incredibly durable too.

Cost: Whatever product we need to buy from a market, the cost of it is an important parameter that determines whether you will buy it or not. One of the many reasons why industries choose coconut shell activated carbon in Japan is its cost-effectiveness combined with its high quality. As we have discussed above, coconut shell is a sustainable and renewable material that is abundant in many countries, especially in Asia. This availability makes it a very cost-effective choice in the market.
