Coconut shell activated carbon is a type of carbon with a well-developed pore structure, a large specific surface area, and adsorption capacity. The total surface area of each gram of activated carbon can reach over 1500 square meters. There are many types of activated carbon, which can be divided into plant charcoal, coal charcoal, petroleum charcoal, bone charcoal, blood charcoal, and so on according to the different raw materials; According to the manufacturing method, it can be divided into gas activated carbon and physical activated carbon; Chemical activation method carbon, namely chemical drug activation method carbon; Chemical physical method activated carbon; According to their appearance, they can be divided into powdered activated carbon, amorphous particle activated carbon, shaped particle activated carbon, spherical carbon, fibrous carbon, fabric like carbon, etc.

Coconut shell activated carbon can be divided into gas-phase adsorption carbon, liquid-phase adsorption carbon, sugar carbon, industrial carbon, catalyst and catalyst carrier carbon according to their uses. Activated carbon has adsorption and catalytic properties. It is insoluble in water and other solvents and has physical and chemical stability. Except for being in contact with oxygen at high temperatures, reacting with strong oxidants such as ozone, chlorine, and dichromates, it is extremely stable under actual usage conditions. Due to its excellent properties as an adsorbent, activated carbon has a wide range of applications. At present, activated carbon is mainly used in the production of glucose, medicine, and monosodium glutamate in China, but its application in environmental protection, as a catalyst and catalyst carrier is not yet widespread.
