Granular Activated Carbon（Gas & Vapor Phase）

Coconut shells and coal are used as raw material.
Crushed, granular, and pellet (cylindrical) shapes are available for any requirement.

※ ○: Granular type

Grade	Characteristics	Typical application
General natural gas adsorption Use GG	The activated carbon sizes can be selectable based on the application needs: i.e. granular mesh sizes or pelletized. Generation of powder when in use is suppressed due to its hardness.	Cigarette filter Filters for deodorizing Gas mask、Masks for deodorizing Deodorant for sealed storage such as refrigerator or cupboard Air purification for house, car, or vessel Removal of odor and toxic gas Purification of source and produced gas
Solvent Recovery Use GS	Macropore and micropore charcoal are available according to the type of solvent, considering adsorption, desorption, and catalytic performance.	Solvent Recovery Toluene, Xylene, N-Hexane, THF, Acetone, CO2, Cyclohexanone, MEK, MIBK, Trichloroethylene, Perchlorethylene, Methylene chloride Removal of general toxic and noxious- odor gases.
Catalyst Carrier Use GC	High purity and hardness facilitates long-term stability. Can be handled for both fixed bed and fluidized bed.	Carrier for synthetic reaction of vinyl acetate, cyanuric chloride, Phosgen Reaction Catalyst of Trichloroethene, perchloroethylene Various types of catalyst carrier
For gas separation purification GA	Excellent gas separation ability due to the highly developed micropores. Suitable for adsorption of low concentration and low boiling point chemical compounds. Also suitable for adsorption of specific substances in liquid phase.	Adsorption of gold and phenol in separation, and purification in liquid phase, such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide
Desulfurization gas use SA	Activated carbon can be used for physical adsorption and chemisorption, e.g., as an oxidation catalyst. Effective for both high and low concentrations.	Removal of sulfurous acid gas and hydrogen sulphide in exhaust gas Removal of odor gas generated in public waste disposal facilities Separation and removal of ozone
For acid gas removal G-H	Suitable for removing acid gas, such as hydrogen sulphide	Air purification filter Removal of odors generated in sewage water, treatment plants for human waste, and sewage disposal facilities

Granular activated carbon (Liquid & water phase)

Grade	Characteristics	Typical application
For water purification GW	Coconut shell activated carbon has good characteristics, high purity, and sufficient hardness. No fine particles generated during use. Can be reused by regeneration.	Removal of musty smell in tap water, COD compounds, and THM Removal of ABS in water, phenol, foul odor and taste substances, and coloring matter Dechlorination of drinking water, pure water, or industrial water, removal of organic matter Water purifier, chemical compounds for water purification Tertiary treatment of sewage water and waste water from industrial use
For liquid phase purification GW-H	Coconut shell activated carbon with high adsorption capability and purity Good for adsorption of minor components due to well-developed micropores. Can be reused by regeneration.	Decolorization and purification of industrial chemicals, intermediates or F&B products. Treatment of minor organic impurities in liquid phase
For purification and decolorizzation of liquid phase GLC	The macro pores of this carbon are suited for removal of colors. Especially good in decolorization of highly concentrated solution. Both caustic soda and baking recycling are possible.	Decolorization in food industry, such as amino acid, brewing, monosodium glutamate, glucose, sugar, syrup, gelatin, etc. Decolorization and purification of industrial chemicals, intermediates or F&B products. Decolorization of cleaning solvent Decolorization of waste water
