Guide 01

Start with application condition, not only product name

Water treatment, air purification, gold recovery, food or beverage decolorization and industrial gas treatment each require different particle size, contact time, handling and index discussions.

Guide 02

Choose the form: GAC, PAC or pellet

Granular activated carbon is common for fixed beds and filters, powdered activated carbon is used for dosing or liquid phase treatment, and pellet carbon is often requested for gas phase beds where pressure drop matters.

Guide 03

Confirm raw material and particle size

Coal based, coconut shell, wood based and customized raw material options should be matched to application, required index and order requirement. Mesh, fineness or pellet diameter should be included in the inquiry.

Guide 04

Request common QC indexes

Iodine value, methylene blue, decolorization index, hardness, ash, moisture, pH and bulk density are common purchasing fields. Relevant values should be confirmed with real factory testing data.

Guide 05

Prepare packing and document fields

State bag weight, jumbo bag, palletizing, label requirement, destination port and any document needs. Certificates, test reports and third-party inspection support are available upon request when relevant.

FAQ

Buyer questions before quotation

Application usually comes first. Raw material matters, but system use, target contaminant, particle size and performance index decide whether coconut shell, coal based, wood based or customized activated carbon should be discussed.

Quotation depends on product grade, particle size, target index, packing, quantity and shipment terms. Send these fields to request factory quotation follow-up.

Only verified and product-relevant certificates should be used. Compliance documents, test reports and third-party inspection support are handled as available upon request.

Include application, product form, raw material preference, particle size, target index, quantity, packing requirement, destination and any document request.

Have specifications from your customer?

Send the requested indexes, application and packing requirement so DXD Carbon can narrow the grade before quotation.
