coconut coal is activated carbon made from coconut shells, usually with a high proportion of micropores favorable for the adsorption of smaller molecules.

What does coconut coal mean in practice?

A large share of micropores promotes the adsorption of smaller particles, and the hardness of the grains limits dusting in washed beds.

When does it matter?

Coconut origin does not automatically guarantee better reduction of each compound or adequate activity against chloramines.

Which solutions are related to it?

Iodine value, ash, granulation and results for the target contaminant are compared, not just the base raw material.
