Indian Carbon – Premium Activated
Carbon for Water and Industrial Applications
Indian
Carbon
is a high-quality activated carbon widely used in water treatment, air
purification, and industrial processes for its exceptional adsorption
capabilities. Produced from select raw materials such as coconut shells, coal,
or wood, Indian Carbon is engineered to remove impurities, odors, colors, and
chemical contaminants from water, air, and other liquid or gaseous streams. Its
porous structure and large surface area make it a preferred choice in
municipal, industrial, and commercial applications.
With
its consistent performance, Indian Carbon ensures high efficiency in
purification, decolorization, and chemical recovery processes, protecting
downstream equipment, improving process quality, and enhancing environmental
compliance.
What is Indian Carbon?
Indian
Carbon is a high-grade activated carbon produced using physical orchemical activation methods that create a network of micro- and mesopores
within the carbon material. These pores provide a high specific surface area,
allowing the carbon to adsorb a wide range of organic and inorganic
contaminants effectively.
It
is available in various grades and forms, including granular activated
carbon (GAC), powdered activated carbon (PAC), and extruded carbon, to suit
different applications. Each grade is designed for optimal performance in
specific conditions such as water filtration, industrial chemical processing,
or air purification.
Working Principle
Activated
carbon works primarily through the process of adsorption, where
contaminants in water or air adhere to the surface of the carbon particles. The
working principle involves:
- Physical Adsorption
- Contaminants are attracted
to the porous surface of the carbon through van der Waals forces.
- Organic molecules,
chlorine, and odors are effectively trapped.
- Chemical Adsorption
(Chemisorption)
- In some cases, reactive
functional groups on the carbon surface interact chemically with pollutants, such as the removal of chlorine or heavy metals.
- High Surface Area
Interaction
- Indian Carbon’s micro- and
mesoporous structure provides a vast surface area (typically 900–1200
m²/g) for adsorption, ensuring high efficiency even at low
concentrations.
This
combination of physical and chemical adsorption makes Indian Carbon suitable
for a wide range of purification and industrial applications.
Types and Grades of Indian Carbon
- Granular Activated Carbon
(GAC)
- Uniform granules designed
for water treatment and air purification.
- Excellent for continuous
filtration in tanks and columns.
- Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
- Fine particles that can be
dosed directly into water or liquid streams.
- Ideal for treatment of
high-organic-content water or temporary purification.
- Extruded or Pelletized
Carbon
- Cylindrical or extruded
forms suitable for high-pressure systems.
- Low dust content, high mechanical strength, and consistent performance.
- Specialty Grades
- Impregnated carbon for
specific chemical adsorption (e.g., silver-impregnated carbon for
microbiological control, acid-washed carbon for enhanced adsorption).
Key Features and Benefits
- High Adsorption Capacity: Effectively removes organic
contaminants, chlorine, odors, and discoloration.
- Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for water
treatment, industrial purification, air and gas purification, and chemical
recovery.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: High mechanical strength
and resistance to attrition ensure extended service life.
- Versatile Forms: Available in granular,
powdered, or extruded formats to match system requirements.
- Environmentally Friendly: Reduces chemical usage and
improves water and air quality sustainably.
- Chemical Resistance: Can operate in acidic or
basic conditions without significant degradation.
- Cost-Effective: Efficient adsorption
minimizes replacement frequency and operational costs.
- Easy Handling and
Installation: Compatible with filtration columns, dosing systems, and industrial reactors.
Applications
