Coconut shell activated carbon is made from the coconut shell, as suggested by its name. The coconut goes through a steam activation procedure to produce its activated carbon form. Millions of pores are formed at the carbon's surface after activation, increasing the overall surface area. Coconut shell activated carbons are particularly popular in the gas phase purification and potable water purification industries because they have a distinctive distribution of pore diameter and mostly micro- to meso-pores. The least dusty activated carbons are those made from coconut shells. They are suitable for organic chemical adsorption due to their predominant microporous nature. When compared to other types of activated carbon, coconut shell-based carbon has the maximum hardness, which makes it the best carbon for purifying water.
Coconut shell and wood are sustainable supplies for building materials. Despite utilizing billions of coconut shells year for activation, coconut farms covering millions of acres of land continue to serve our ecosystem in every way from the green trees they produce. In a two-step procedure, activated carbon is made from coconut shells. In order to remove around two-thirds of the volatiles from the shells and create a carbonaceous material with numerous microscopic pores, the first stage in activation is to carbonize the shells. This carbonized base material is activated at a high temperature (1,100 °C/2,012 °F) in steam in the second stage. The creation of internal pore networks and the delivery of certain surface chemistries (functional groups) into each particle depend on the activation temperature and duration. In essence, carbon's distinctive adsorption properties are a result of the total activation process.
