Coconut shell activated carbon like its names comes from the coconut
shell that has been undergone steam activation process to create its
activated carbon form. During activation, it creates millions of pores
at the surface of the carbon thus increasing the total surface area.
Activated carbon pores can be divided into three general sizes
Micro-pores (diameter in the range of less than 2 nm), Meso-pores
(diameter in the range of 2 – 25 nm), and Macro-pores (diameter in the
range of above 25 nm). Coconut shell carbon has mainly micro-pores to
meso-pores and due to its unique distribution of pores diameter, coconut
shell activated carbon are very popular in the gas phase purification
and potable water purification industries.
