Removal of Proteins and other Organic Impurities.

A number of pharmaceutical products can become contaminated in production by proteins or other organic compounds. In order to ensure these products are suitable for use, different grades of activated carbon can be used. Boyce Carbon has a range of high purity powder and granular carbons that are suitable for purification of pharmaceuticals including:

* Amino Acids including: methionine, lysine, mono sodium glutamate (MSG), phenyl alanine, aspartic acid, glycine, methionine

* Blood plasma

 * Contrast liquids

 * Enzymes

 * Folic acid

 * Intravenous solution

Boyce granular activated carbon (GAC) is also used in bottled beverage plants. For this purpose we recommend using our ————- product. The granular activated carbon is used as a filter in a vessel through which the water is pumped. The GAC is regularly backwashed and does not need to be replaced.

During the production and preparation of soft drinks, Activated Carbon is used in various stages:

a) Raw water treatment in bottling plants: removal of organic compounds, taste/ odour and residual chlorine

 b) Treatment of mixing water in ode fountains (in restaurants etc.): again, removal of organics, chlorine and taste/odour, typically starting from municipal water

 c) Purification of carbon dioxide in bottling plants: removal of organic impurities from the available CO2

 d) Purification of liquid sugar in bottling plants: removal of color bodies and taste/odour compounds from the sugar syrup which is used as an ingredient in the soft drink preparation

Boyce specialist grades

Boyce carbon supply specialist grades of granulatedactivated carbon (GAC) for gold mining service all over the world. For gold mining we recommend using our —————product.  Highly activated carbon is used in the dissolved gold recovery process, either by introducing it directly into the CIL (carbon-in-leach) tanks or into separate CIP (carbon-in-pulp) tanks after leaching. The activated carbon adsorbs the dissolved gold from the leach slurry thereby concentrating it onto a smaller mass of solids. The carbon is then separated from the slurry by screening and subjected to further treatment to recover the adsorbed gold.

In short, there is no longer any need to struggle trying to find the best price/performance in activated carbon solutions. Boyce has solutions for all problems. Take advantage of the expertise, experience and technical know-how of our specialists….. We are always close at hand!
