Acid Washed Activated Carbon in Coimbatore – High Purity Low Ash Carbon
On this page
What is Acid Washed Activated Carbon?
Acid Washed Activated Carbon is coconut-shell based steam activated carbon that undergoes an additional acid washing process to reduce ash content, soluble minerals, and trace metal impurities. This makes it ideal for applications requiring high purity and chemical stability.
Why Acid Washing? Acid washing reduces inorganic residues, improves pH stability, and enhances adsorption performance in sensitive environments.
