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.
