Use Coconut Shell Charcoal and Contribute to Environment. No Green Gas Emission While Heating Compared to Coal.

Coconut shell Charcoal is obtained from coconut shell. It is used most widely as domestic and industrial fuel. It is in constant demand for the activities performed by goldsmiths and blacksmiths and in laundries. Coconut shell Charcoal is generally used in the manufacture of activated carbon. Activated Carbon obtained from coconut shell has many specific advantages as the raw material can adsorb particular molecular species. The coconut shell is directly carbonized by using traditional methods like drum method, pit method, destructive distillation etc. The coconut shell charcoal is the main raw material required for producing coconut shell activated carbon. There is a large demand for activated carbon suppliers in the global market.The coconut charcoal is produced by burning shells of fully matured coconuts in limited supply of air which is sufficient only for carbonization, but not for complete destruction of the shells. The exact output of coconut shell charcoal in the traditional pith method is approximately below 33 per cent of the weight of the original coconutshells In order to obtain good high quality charcoal, fully sun dried, clean, mature shells are used. Advancement of science and technology has paved way for many new modern methods for the production of charcoal. In the latest modern charcoal technology adopted, waste heat recovery unit, the heat generated by the process of burning coconut shells is directly used for drying coconut copra and shell charcoal and other coconut products.

Use of coconut shell charcoal and coconut shell powder in the domestic and industrial sector greatly contributes to the environment.  There is not much green gas emission while heating compared to coal. Activated carbon pellets, granular activated carbon, powder activated carbon, impregnated activated carbon andactivated carbon fibers usage should be limited to the extend without harming the environment. There are many disadvantage of coal. The burning of coal releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that causes global warming and climate change. According to a latest research study, the usage of coal in the domestic and industrial purpose increases the level of carbon dioxide in the air. The consumption of coal generates a lot of waste products, that are bottom ash, fly ash, flue gas desulfurization sludge, which also contain uranium, mercury,arsenic, thorium, and other heavy metals. Coal also creates dust nuisance in the air. It also creates respiratory problems to human beings. Coal-fired power plant releases a large emission which includes selenium, mercury, and arsenic that are really harmful to the environment and human health. Most of the coal-fired power plants which are without any effective fly ash capture are one of the largest sources of human-caused radiation exposure in the environment.

High Quality Coconut Shell Charcoal And Activated Carbon Available In India And South East Countries.

The coconut tree is an integral part of costal India and Southeastern countries of Asia. The coconut palm is widely grown throughout the tropical region for decoration of the landscape as well as for its various culinary and non-culinary uses.  A coconut is an essential part of the lifestyle of the people of this region. Each and every part of the coconut tree is put to some use. According to a recent coconut survey report, the Philippines ranks first in the world in coconut production, followed by Indonesia and India. Pollachi, a small town in south India and its surrounding villages are the largest and popular coconut growing hubs in India. The famous coconut-based products are coconut oil, copra, tender coconut water, coconut cake, coconut shell-based products, coconut toddy, coconut charcoal, coconut wood-based products, coir pith and coconut leaves.

The coconut shell charcoal is the main raw material required for the manufacture of activated carbon. Shell charcoal is most widely used as domestic and industrial fuel. It is also used by goldsmiths, blacksmiths and in laundries. The process of manufacturing coconut charcoal starts with uses the high quality coconut shell. The shell charcoal is industrially manufactured by burning shells of matured nuts in limited supply of air which is sufficient only for carbonization, but not for complete destruction of the raw material. To obtain good high quality coconut shell charcoal and coconut shell activated carbon, fully dried, clean, mature coconut shells is recommended.

There is a growing demand for coconut shell powder and powder activated carbon in the global market, mostly the demand are meet by India and southeastern countries. The porous carbon materials in various forms, such as activated carbon fibers play a key role in many industries, particularly those related with environmental concerns. These activated carbon fibers which are used in the building of structures like buildings and vehicles mostly grab toxic compounds from the water and air, thereby reducing pollution. Therefore, there is a great demand for activated carbon suppliers in the global market.Impregnated activated carbon is predominantly used in the gas purification, catalysis and civil and military gas protection.

Granular activated carbon has a relatively very larger particle size in comparison with powdered activated carbon and therefore, presents a smaller external surface. These carbons are mostly preferred for adsorption of gases and vapors as generally their rate of diffusion are much faster. Granulated carbons are commonly used for deodorization, water treatment and separation of components of flow system.Activated carbon pellets is made especially for use in a vapor applications. The product is highly double screened and de-dusted in the normal process and prior to packaging to assure a very clean, hard, dust free product with long service lifespan.

These entire products and it’s by product show the immense value of coconut shell in industrial sector and domestic field. India and southeastern countries provide a commendable support by yielding and supply of high quality coconut shell charcoal and activated carbon to the global market.

BOYCE TO SUPPLY COCONUT SHELL CHARCOAL TO MAJOR STEEL MILLS IN INDIA

Activated coconut shell carbon is available in many forms and is capable of absorbing gases, vapor and solids fast in many processes.Coconut shell carbon is made available in different forms according to the processes in which it is put to use. Boyce carbon comes in powder, pellet and granular shapes. It has very important chemical properties and is used in many industries, including the steel industry requiring absorption of some of the gases and vapours in the process of purification. Boyce coconut shell carbon is sulphur free and is available in various forms. Sulphur free boyce carbon is used extensively forcarbon pick up in factories where it is used as raw material for activated carbon.

The uses of different types of carbon are as follows:-

Powder form of carbon

Activated carbon in powder form is used for purifying the liquids by mixing the carbon to the liquid and filtered.

Granulated activated carbon

Granulated activated carbon finds its use in gas purification or liquids in filters etc. It is also used in oil refining, chemical and pharmaceutical industry for depolarization purposes.

Coconut shell charcoal is cost effective and an environmental friendly product from Boyce Carbon and is put to various uses in many types of industries including steel industry. It is reported that in the iron and steel industry, coal accounts for nearly 60% of the carbon emissionsand electricity and the use of gas accounts for 35% of carbon emission. The Boyce carbon is used in steel industry more for production of steel rather than using it as a fuel. The coconut shell activated carbon is widely used and is considered as a substitute for other forms of carbon such as coal for liquid and vapor based applications.

Steel is made up of an alloy of iron and the content which varies from 0.2% and 2.1% by weight. It differs according to the grade of the steel. Carbon is a cost-effective material used for alloying iron. The carbon acts as an agent which hardens and prevents the dislocations in the atoms of iron. The Boyce carbon maintains the qualities viz. the, hardness, tensile strength and ductility of the steel produced. The mixture of carbon and iron used in manufacturing of steel varies in proportion to provide varied grades of steel products. The cast iron has higher carbon content and has a lower melting point and cast ability. Steel has more rust-resistance and good weld ability. He content of carbon is the deciding factor in steel making furnace operation and the correct determination of carbon will save in fuel as well as time which cut production costs.

Boyce to Help Develop Coconut Clusters in India

India is currently leading in Coconut production compared to the other large coconut producing nations like Srilanka, Indonesia, Philipines, etc. In India, South India leads in producing coconuts. According to coconut development board in Kerala, Kerala and Tamilnadu are the major producers of Coconuts. 50% of the production goes for house hold consumption, the rest goes in making other coconut products like the desiccated coconuts powder, coconut oil, etc.

As a Coconut shell based activated carbon manufacturer, we see the coconut clusters are highly displaced at least in south India and we need to integrate them to the coconut producing farms.  we need to constantly look at increasing production of coconuts to retain the lead among the other producing countries.

The charcoal manufacturers in Kangayam, Tamilnadu and nearby areas pick up coconut shell from the Copras and use to make charcoal. The reason for kangayam and near by areas are known for the charcoal production is because of its coconut oil producing companies and additionally kangayam is known for its high temperature that helps in drying the coconut shells soon.

Coconut shells from kerala reach this place through Pollachi. traders pick up coconut shells from different copras in kerala and sell it in pollachi. Pollachi is a hub for all charcoal and coconut shell powder manufacturers to pick up raw material.

Given this scenario, the coconut board should help and encourage the farmers to sell coconut shells to the charcoal manufacturing units directly than through the middle man. A Neither the charcoal manufacturer or the farmer gets reasonable price.

Boyce carbon is planning to help the clusters in strategic locations to sell the shells directly to the manufacturing unit in Tamilnadu. this will give farmers to exercise control on the price that they sell it to the units and charcoal making units will also buy shells from these clusters directly. this will give them control on selling price.

Water And Waste Water Treatment Solutions From Boyce Carbon

Water is the basic determinant for the existence of life on earth. Water is required in everyday life in the domestic, industrial, commercial and agriculture sectors abundantly. With the increase in population growth, environmental pollution and growth of technology, water gets polluted very easily through the waste materials from these sources and it becomes very imperative to treat water we use. It is equally important to treat the waste water too in order to check pollution of the water bodies and the ground water. The purpose of treating water is to rid of the water contaminants present in the water and make it fit for consumption.  The treated waste water is let out in to the environment without causing any negative impact on ecology.

The water and waste water needs treatment for the following reasons:-

• Conservation of water sources.
• Protection of environment.
• Maintain a healthy life for human beings.

In the modern world, providing water treatment solutions has occupied a prime position and has developed as a major industry, extending services in the sectors of domestic, industry, agriculture etc.

The basic product which is used in treating water and waste water iscarbon. The activated carbon is a processed carbon that has high level of micro porosity and makes possible the chemical absorption very quickly. The activated carbon finds its use in water purification and waste water treatment, apart from applications in other areas. It is a process by which the contaminants in both the water and waste water are removed.

Removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from waste water is another way of purification by which process the nitrogen gas is removed from the waste water and released to air. Disinfecting the contaminateddrinking water is mainly done to minimize the level of microorganisms in the treated water. The commonly used methods used for disinfection of water are ozone, chlorine or ultraviolet light.

Chlorination

The most commonly adopted method of treating water and waste water through chlorination which is cost effective. Since the toxicity of residual chlorine will affect aquatic species, it is essential to dechlorinate the treated effluent.

Ultraviolet

In ultraviolet no chemicals are used and the treated water will not affect the consumers of treated water. The radiation of UV damages the bacteria’s genetic pattern and renders them unable to reproduce.

Ozone O3

In this process, the Ozone O3 is produced through combining O2 and a third oxygen atom and destroys many micro organisms. The disadvantage of this process is the high cost of the equipment for generating ozone.

Water treatment solutions depend on the nature of the water bodies and the intensity of contaminants present in water. In addition to the above mentioned general water treatment solutions, there are many companies who have designed their own water treatment solutions by obtaining patent for their technologies.

BOYCE ACTIVATED CARBON GETS CONTRACTS TO SUPPLY ACTIVATED CARBON TO MAINTAIN SALT WATER PURIFICATION STATIONS

Boyce Carbon is one of the leading bulk suppliers of activated carbon and products of coconut shell for the purpose of purification. Boyce carbon is a company which is leading in export of activated carbon to many countries including the Gulf countries. The activated carbon is in great demand in many countries, especially the Gulf countries for the maintenance of their desalinization plants on a continuous basis.

Boyce maintains an excellent network within and outside the country and is well equipped with a team of specialists in various products to offer the purification solutions to the clients. The products of Boyce carbon are used mainly for water treatment purpose, since the water contamination is a major problem faced by many countries. Water gets polluted through various sources due to the release of industrial effluents to the water bodies without adhering to the effluent treatment norms. Apart from this, treatment of water becomes a routine practice in many industries who utilize water in great quantity for production purposes. The water used for this purpose should be free from impurities and salt content so as to make it suitable for industrial consumption so that quality products can be produced.

The activated carbon is available in three different forms viz. in powder form, pellet form and the granulated form. The activated carbon is manufactured adopting a standard method of direct activation and is designed specifically for the removal of a variety of contaminants which are organic from drinking water, apart from waste and process water. The activated carbon finds its application for the following purposes such as Industrial process water, reduction of chloramines, reduction in taste and odor, treatment of wastewater, remediation of groundwater, treatment of Drinking water, removal of pesticide, A  removal of Disinfection-by-product (DBP) and organic contaminants removal.

Some of the benefits and features of activated carbon are micro porous for high quality removal of organic concentrations; ash content is very low, PH neutral, reduced green gas emission, cost effective and environment friendly. The use of coconut shell charcoal activated carbon contributes to a great extent in reducing the green gas emission while heating and controls the pollution in the environment, when compared to brining the coal. There are disadvantages in making use of coal since burning of coal results in the release of carbon dioxide in the environment and pave the way for global warming and the consequent climate change. The power plants which use coal releases chemicals such as selenium, mercury etc. which are harm- full to the environment and human health.

Coconut Shell Based Activated Carbon a Real Alternate For Coal Based Heating

There are several disadvantages by the usage of coal in the domestic and industrial sector. The carbon dioxide is released by the burning of coal, a greenhouse gas which causes major global warming and climate change. It also creates respiratory problems to human beings. According to a recent research study, the consumption of coal in the industrial and domestic purpose increases the level of carbon dioxide in the air. Coal carbon also creates dust nuisance in the air. The consumption of coal generally generates a several waste products, which are bottom ash, fly ash, flue gas desulfurization sludge, that also contain uranium, mercury, arsenic, thorium, and other heavy metals. Most of the coal-fired power plants which are without any effective fly ash capture are one of the largest sources of human-caused radiation exposure in the environment. Coal-fired power plant releases a large emission which includes selenium, mercury, and arsenic that are really harmful to the environment and human health.

Therefore the coconut products mainly shell based activated carbon is a real alternate for coal based heating. Activated carbon, also popularly known as activated coal or activated charcoal is a kind of carbon which has been manufactured to make it extremely porous and therefore have a very large surface area available for chemical reactions or adsorption. The activated carbon is the key raw material used for the purification of water sources and removal of organic substances. It is generally used in space suits for air cleaning too. There is a growing demand for powder activated carbon, activated carbon fibers and coconut shell charcoal in the global market from activated carbon suppliers. In the medical field, coconut shell powder is used in medicine to treat poisonings, for precious metal recovery, to distill alcoholic beverages and in gas purification.

As it is derived from organic substances such as coconut shells, coconut shell activated carbon is widely used in various environmental applications like spill cleanup and capturing volatile compounds from painting and dry cleaning. In order to get good quality coconut shell charcoal and coconut shell activated carbon, the manufacturing concerns use fully dried, clean, mature coconut palm shells on the instruction of their suppliers to meet the market demand. The granular activated carbon is always preferred for adsorption of gases and vapors as their rate of diffusion is faster. The activated carbons pellets are made especially for use in vapor applications in industries. The suppliers also get client enquiries for impregnated activated carbon and activated carbon fibers too. Aquarium charcoal or activated carbon is used as a water filter in fish aquariums. Activated carbon pellets is made especially for use in a vapor applications. The product is highly double screened and de-dusted in the normal process and prior to packaging to assure a very clean, dust free product and hard with long service lifespan.
