Buying Coconut Shell Activated Carbon from Sri Lanka

Activated carbon charcoal

Coconut-shell charcoal and activated carbon

Coconut-shell is the hardest biomass used for activated carbon, which is why coconut-shell activated carbon has the highest micropore volume and iodine values of any plant source. Sri Lanka’s mature coconut industry makes it one of the most reliable origins for high-grade coconut-shell charcoal and activated carbon: used in water treatment, food and beverage decolouration, gold recovery, air purification and pharmaceuticals.

Product Range

  • Raw coconut-shell charcoal: for shisha/hookah, BBQ and as feedstock.
  • Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): water/air treatment, gold recovery.
  • Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC): decolouration, pharma.
  • Extruded/pelletised carbon: gas-phase and solvent recovery.

Specifications to Specify

ParametroTypical target
Iodine value900–1,100 mg/g (higher for premium)
Methylene blue200–300 mg/g
CTC / hardnessBy application
Mesh sizee.g. 8×16, 8×30, 12×40, or powder mesh
Moisture / ash≤5% / ≤5%
Application drives the spec: water treatment prioritizes iodine value and mesh; gold recovery prioritizes hardness and abrasion; pharma/food needs the relevant pharmacopoeia grade. Tell the exporter the use, not just “activated carbon”, and request a COA.
