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.
