Lignite Coal Based Activated Carbon May 09 2013, 8 Comments

 

The carbon made from lignite tend to have a large pore diameter with a higher total pore volume (higher molasses number) that makes better suited for the removal of large color body molecules (removal of large molecular weight from chemical compound) from liquids and the removal of sulphur (Hydrogen Sulfide) from vapors. The carbon gives you greater adsorption capacity, high ignition temperature, lower iodine number plus lower density. Lignite based activated carbon is macroporous. It has 20% more total pore volume than bituminous based coal carbon.

 

 LC-PAC

Granular activated carbon produced by steam activation of lignite coal. This grade is specifically manufactured for applications requiring rapid. 12x40 or 8x30 Lignite Based Activated Carbon are a general purpose granular carbon grade used in a variety of applications including purification of fine chemicals and food.

LC-GAC

 

325 mesh powdered activated carbon used in a purification of water and flue gas emission streams. The Bromine treatment PAC has been proven to be highly effective for the removal of mercury at coal fire power generation. Its open pore structure and fine partice size permit rapid adsorption, which is critical for high performance in flue gas streams where contact times are short less than 2 seconds.
