Food-grade coconut shell granular carbon
Food-Grade Coconut Shell Granular Activated Carbon for Odor Removal
Food-grade coconut shell granular activated carbon for odor removal in household and industrial applications. Coconut shell gives a hard, microporous carbon suited to retaining small odor molecules and many volatile organic compounds. The granular 900–1600 µm range suits cartridge fill for household units and packed beds in industrial vessels where low pressure drop matters. The series is specified with iodine adsorption at 900 mg/g or more, methylene blue at 135 mg/g or more, CTC at 40 % or more, and BET surface area of 950–1200 m²/g. Ash is specified at 5 % or less, heavy metals at 10 ppm or less and hardness at 95 % or more, supporting food-related and potable water duties and a stable bed. Values shown are series references; batch values, applicable documents, packaging and moisture protection are confirmed before an order. Buyers are invited to share the object being treated, flow or concentration, target specification, particle size and purchase quantity for a selection review.

DESCRIPTION
Explore description details to support your evaluation.
This product is a food-grade granular activated carbon made from coconut shell, supplied for odor removal in both household and industrial applications. It is intended for buyers and technical teams who need to compare a defined material, form and duty before requesting a quotation.
Material and form
Coconut shell is a hard, dense precursor. When activated, it develops a largely microporous structure that is well suited to retaining small odor molecules and many volatile organic compounds. The granular form allows the carbon to be filled into cartridges for household units or packed into vessels for industrial service, where controlled pressure drop and a stable bed are usually desired.
Why this series for odor removal
Odor control depends on matching the carbon to the duty. This series combines a microporous coconut shell base with a granular size range and a food-grade quality profile. Ash is specified at 5 % or less and heavy metals at 10 ppm or less, which supports use in food-related and potable water duties. Hardness is specified at 95 % or more, helping the granules resist attrition during handling, backwashing and normal service.
The adsorption profile is specified with iodine adsorption at 900 mg/g or more, methylene blue at 135 mg/g or more, CTC at 40 % or more, and BET surface area of 950–1200 m²/g. The granular size range of 900–1600 µm is suitable for cartridge fill in household equipment and for packed beds in industrial vessels where low pressure drop matters.
Household and industrial use
For household use, the granular carbon can be used in cartridge or filter units where odor removal is the main duty. For industrial use, it can be evaluated for packed beds or vessels treating air or water streams with odor-causing compounds. The final selection should consider the stream being treated, the flow or concentration, the target specification, the required particle size and the purchase quantity.

Questions buyers and technical teams often ask before selecting this food-grade coconut shell granular carbon.
What is this carbon designed for?
It is a food-grade coconut shell granular activated carbon intended for odor removal. It can be considered for household cartridge or filter units and for industrial packed beds where odor control is the duty.
Can it be used for both household and industrial applications?
Yes, the granular form is supplied with both uses in mind. Household use commonly involves cartridge fill, while industrial use commonly involves packed beds or vessels. The final choice depends on the equipment, the stream being treated and the required operating conditions.
What information should I provide for a selection check?
Please describe the object being treated, the flow or concentration, the target specification, the required particle size and the purchase quantity if known. This helps us review the application and discuss the applicable grade or direction.
Are the values on this page guaranteed for every batch?
