subject: India And Other Southeastasian Countries Exporting Coconut Shell Based Activated Carbon And Charcoal [print this page] In this process, the coconut shell is carbonized through a methods such as drum method, pit method, destructive distillation etc. In the defense sector, it is used in a wide range of filters for war gases and nuclear fall outs and in gas masks. The coconut shell based activated carbon is widely used in the process of bleaching and refining of chemical solutions and vegetable oils, recovery of solvents, water purification, recovery of gold etc.
There is a constant demand for export from India and East Asian countries because the activated carbon manufactured from coconuts of these region is considered superior to those obtained from other sources mainly due to its small macropores structure that renders it more effective for the adsorption of vapour/gas/ and for the removal of odor and colour of compounds.
The Coconut shell charcoal is another important product obtained from coconut shell. The shell charcoal is widely used as industrial and domestic fuel. There is a constant demand for charcoal from laundries, blacksmiths and goldsmiths. The coconut shell charcoal mainly used to produce activated carbon. The activated carbon produced from matured coconut shell has several advantages as the main raw material to adsorb certain molecular species. The Charcoal are manufactured with coconut shell, it is carbonized by pit method or drum method or destructive distillation.
In India and East Asian countries high quality coconut shell charcoal is manufactured by burning shells of fully matured coconuts in limited supply of air sufficient only for carbonization, but not for its complete destruction. In India the average total output in the traditional method has been recorded as 40kg of charcoal from 1000 whole coconut shells. In order to obtain high quality charcoal, fully matured dry and clean coconut shells are used in the manufacturing units of India and East Asian countries. Actiavated carbon suppliers of India and East Asian countries regularly get a constant export contract from regular clients for coconut shell based activated carbon, activated charcoal, charcoal, activated carbon pellets, granular activated carbon, powder activated carbon, impregnated activated carbon, Coconut shell powder and Activated carbon fibers.
The quality products exported from this region brings in regular customer and new clients to boost the business. This in turn increases the level of production and market value of export oriented coconut based carbon product in the global market. The coordination and co-operation between the manufacturers, suppliers and clients make the transaction related to export much easier and smooth throughout the year.
