Coconut shell activated carbon belongs to the category of fruit shell activated carbon, and its main characteristics are low density, light hand feel, and significantly lighter weight when held in hand compared to coal based activated carbon. Coconut shell activated carbon with the same weight generally has a larger volume than coal based activated carbon.

2. Coconut shell activated carbon is generally in the form of broken particles or flakes, while formed activated carbon, such as columnar or spherical activated carbon, is mostly coal based carbon.

3. Due to the low density and light touch of coconut shell activated carbon, it can be placed in water. Coal based charcoal generally sinks quickly, while coconut shell activated carbon floats in water for a longer period of time. As the activated carbon adsorbs water molecules to saturation and increases its own weight, it gradually sinks to the bottom of the water. When all activated carbon sinks to the bottom, you will see a small bubble wrapped around each activated carbon, which is crystal clear and very interesting.

4. Coconut shell activated carbon has a small molecular pore structure. When activated carbon is placed in water, the air released when it adsorbs water molecules will produce many very small bubbles (visible to the naked eye), densely packed and constantly floating towards the water surface. Coal based activated carbon generally has a large molecular pore structure, and the generated bubble phase is also relatively large.

Activated carbon is a type of carbon product that uses high-quality fruit shells, coconut shells, walnut shells, fruit shell charcoal, or various types of fruit shells as raw materials, and is processed through special processes using physical or chemical methods. It has a developed pore structure and specific surface area. Due to its special pore structure, activated carbon has extremely strong adsorption capacity and is widely used in industrial and civilian fields such as air purification, anti-virus protection, water treatment, solvent decolorization, etc. In recent years, with the gradual understanding of activated carbon by people, the activated carbon market has also developed rapidly. However, at the same time, various low-quality activated carbon products have also taken advantage of the situation, seriously affecting the normal development of the activated carbon market and causing adverse consequences to consumers. In order to enable consumers to choose products with peace of mind, here is a brief explanation on how to choose high-quality activated carbon.
