Selection guide
Choose the form from the process
One adsorption index cannot describe hydraulic behavior, dosing, separation or gas-flow performance.
Granular · GAC
Use in fixed beds where particle retention and hydraulic behavior matter. Match the grading to the vessel, backwash plan or recovery circuit.
- Coconut Shell GAC
- 6x12, 8x16, 8x30, 12x40 or 20x40 mesh; approximately 0.45-3.35 mm
- Coal Based GAC
- 4x8, 6x12, 8x16, 8x30, 12x20, 12x30, 20x40 or 30x60 mesh
- Gold Recovery Carbon
- Common sourcing directions: 6x12, 6x16 or 8x16 mesh; final range must match the CIP/CIL equipment
Powdered · PAC
Dose into the process stream and remove downstream. Review adsorption duty, contact time and filtration behavior together.
- Wood Based PAC
- Common 200 or 325 mesh grades; target screen passing rate is specified by order
- Decolorization PAC
- Common 200 or 325 mesh grades, normally specified with a minimum passing rate
Extruded Pellet
Use for gas flow through a packed bed. Review pellet diameter against pressure drop, humidity and the contaminant mix.
- Pellet Activated Carbon
- Common diameters: 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 mm; 4 mm is widely requested
- 01
Use water or gas analysis to identify the adsorption duty.
- 02
Match mesh, fineness or pellet diameter to the equipment.
- 03
Select test methods that represent the target contaminant.
- 04
Put guaranteed values and tolerances in the signed specification.
By application
Match by application
Review the process conditions before selecting the product grade.
Water Treatment
Coal based or coconut shell GAC for fixed beds; PAC for dosing and emergency treatment
Air & VOC Treatment
Pellet activated carbon for controlled pressure drop in VOC and odor beds; granular carbon where the equipment and vapor duty favor GAC
Industrial Gas Treatment
Pellet or granular carbon for physical adsorption; selected impregnated grades for contaminant-specific chemisorption
Gold Recovery
High-hardness coconut shell GAC in a mesh range matched to the circuit screens and carbon-transfer equipment
Food & Beverage Decolorization
Wood based PAC, commonly 200 or 325 mesh, qualified by actual-liquid decolorization and filtration testing
Purchasing terms
Prepare the commercial specification
Stock, final MOQ, production date, guaranteed values, packing cost, freight, payment terms and inspection scope are confirmed for the specific quotation and contract.
Standard MOQ
1 metric ton
Orders below 1 metric ton are reviewed against the grade, available stock, packing and freight cost.
Standard samples
Free
Standard samples are normally free; the buyer usually covers international courier cost. Sample quantity is matched to the product and test method.
Typical lead time
15–25 days
Typically 15-25 days after specification, packing, order documents and agreed payment conditions are confirmed
Export packing
25 kg / FIBC
25 kg bags, 500 or 1,000 kg FIBC bulk bags, and pallet options by order
