Powdered activated carbon (powdered activated carbon) has a wide range of applications. my country has raw material advantages

Powder activated carbon, also known as powdered activated carbon, refers to activated carbon made from high-quality wood chips, coconut shells, nut shells, coal, etc. as raw materials and refined through a series of production processes. Powdered activated carbon has the advantages of strong decolorization and deodorization, good adsorption performance, and fast filtration speed. It is widely used in water treatment, food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical industry, garbage incineration treatment and other fields.

The main raw materials of powdered activated carbon include petroleum residue, coal, sawdust, coconut shell, nut shell, coke, bone and wood, etc. my country is a major coal producer, and coal is widely used in the production process of powdered activated carbon. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to May 2023, my country’s raw coal output reached 1.91 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.8%. The advantages of raw materials provide favorable conditions for the development of my country’s powdered activated carbon industry. In recent years, affected by environmental protection policies, my country’s powdered activated carbon industry has gradually developed in a green and environmentally friendly direction, and biomass waste such as coconut shells and nut shells have become its ideal raw materials.

The main preparation methods of powdered activated carbon include chemical methods and physical methods. The chemical method refers to using sodium hydroxide, phosphoric acid, potassium hydroxide, zinc chloride, etc. as activators, adding raw materials such as sawdust, coconut shells, etc., and obtaining the finished product through processes such as stirring, heating, cooling, filtering, drying, and crushing; the physical method The raw materials need to be air-dried first, and then the finished products are made through mechanical crushing, carbonization, pyrolysis and other processes.

According to the “2023-2028 China Powder Activated Carbon (Powdered Activated Carbon) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report》shows that powdered activated carbon is a representative product of activated carbon and is widely used in many fields, including water treatment, food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical industry, waste incineration treatment, etc. In the field of water treatment, powdered activated carbon has extremely strong adsorption capacity and can be used for industrial sewage treatment, urban domestic wastewater treatment, tap water purification, etc.; in the field of food processing, powdered activated carbon can be used as a decolorizing material in the production process of food additives, sugars, and beverages. It is widely used in waste incineration treatment; in the field of waste incineration treatment, powdered activated carbon can be used to absorb waste gas generated by waste incineration.

The main players in my country’s powdered activated carbon market include Yuanli Co., Ltd., Huaqing Co., Ltd., Deqian Environmental Protection, Huahui Environmental Protection, etc. Yuanli Co., Ltd. is my country’s leading powdered activated carbon enterprise, with wood-based powdered activated carbon as its main product. According to Yuanli Co., Ltd.’s corporate financial report, in the first half of 2022, the company’s activated carbon business revenue reached 600 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.5%.

Industry analysts said that powdered activated carbon has the advantages of good adsorption performance and fast filtration speed. It is widely used in many fields and will be accompanied by downstream companies in the future. As demand is gradually released, the industry’s prosperity will further improve. my country is a major coal producer, and its raw material advantages lay the foundation for the development of the powdered activated carbon industry. Overall, my country’s powdered activated carbon industry has good development prospects.
