Coconut Shell Activated Carbon

Coconut shell activated carbon has a predominantly microporous structure (pore size < 2 nm), which is ideal for adsorbing small organic molecules like chlorine, taste and odour compounds, and trace organics found in drinking water. It also has lower ash content and higher hardness, resulting in less media loss and lower risk of leaching. For drinking water applications requiring high purity, coconut shell is generally the preferred and superior choice.

Yes. Coconut shell activated carbon is one of the most widely used adsorbents in gold recovery circuits. Its high hardness is critical in CIP and CIL processes, where the carbon undergoes repeated abrasion in agitated tanks. High iodine values ensure strong gold loading capacity, while the micropore structure facilitates selective adsorption of the gold-cyanide complex. We can supply specific grades and mesh sizes optimised for gold recovery applications.

We typically supply coconut shell GAC in 4×8, 8×16, 8×30, 12×40, and 20×50 mesh sizes, covering coarse to fine particle ranges. Pellet grades are available in 3mm and 4mm diameters. PAC is available at 200 mesh (75 µm) and finer. If you require a specific mesh size not listed, contact us as custom grades can often be sourced from our manufacturing partners.

Yes. We provide technical datasheets, typical analysis reports, and batch-specific certificates of analysis (COA) for all product shipments. Documentation requirements can be discussed at the time of order placement.

MOQ varies depending on the product grade, form, and destination. Generally, we can accommodate orders from small trial quantities upward. Please contact our team with your specific requirements — quantity, grade, form, and delivery location — and we will advise on MOQ, pricing, and lead time accordingly.

Coconut shell activated carbon should be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Keep bags sealed until use. Avoid storing near solvents, fuels, or oxidising agents. When stored properly in sealed packaging, shelf life is typically 2 years from the date of manufacture.
