Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
Irregularly shaped granular activated carbon produced from coconut shell, coal, and wood raw materials through steam activation. Provides excellent adsorption performance for water treatment, air purification, and catalyst carrier applications with high surface area and well-developed pore structure.
- High surface area
- Well-developed pores
- Low pressure drop
- Regenerable
Types of Granular Activated Carbon
We offer granular activated carbon derived from three premium raw materials, each engineered to deliver optimal performance across diverse industrial applications.
Coconut Shell Granular Carbon
Produced from premium coconut shell through high-temperature steam activation. Features exceptional hardness, high micropore volume and outstanding adsorption capacity, making it the preferred choice for gold recovery, high-purity water treatment and critical air purification applications.
- Available in 8×30 and 12×40 mesh sizes
- High hardness ≥ 98%, low ash content
- Ideal for gold recovery and precious metal extraction
- Excellent micropore structure for small molecule adsorption
Coal Based Granular Carbon
Manufactured from selected anthracite coal through steam activation. Delivers a cost-effective solution with well-developed mesopore structure and reliable adsorption performance, widely applied in municipal and industrial water treatment, solvent recovery and large-scale filtration projects.
- Available in 4×8, 8×16 and 12×40 mesh sizes
- Cost-effective for large-scale water treatment
- High mechanical strength and abrasion resistance
- Regenerable for repeated use and lower operating cost
Nut Shell Granular Carbon
Produced from selected nut shells (apricot, peach, walnut) through steam activation. Characterized by high hardness and a balanced pore structure of micropores and mesopores, offering excellent performance for water treatment, decolorization, and purification in food and beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
- Available in 8×30 and 12×40 mesh sizes
- Balanced micro-mesopore structure for versatile adsorption
- High hardness, low attrition loss in operation
- Cost-effective alternative to coconut shell carbon
Product Overview
HeyCarbons granular activated carbon (GAC) is produced from coconut shell, coal and wood raw materials through high-temperature steam activation. The irregular granular shape creates a high surface area with well-developed pore structure, delivering excellent adsorption performance across liquid and gas phase applications.
Our GAC products offer low pressure drop in fixed-bed columns, high mechanical strength for repeated backwashing, and thermal regenerability for sustainable operation. Available in a wide range of mesh sizes and raw material options to match the specific requirements of water treatment, air purification, gold recovery and catalyst carrier applications.
