NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. believes in empowering our clients with knowledge about the products they use. A fundamental aspect of understanding activated carbon quality lies in its technical specifications, primarily the Iodine Value and Surface Area. These metrics are critical for determining the effectiveness of activated carbon in different purification and adsorption tasks.

The Iodine Value is a measure of the pore volume of activated carbon that is accessible to small, monomolecular molecules, primarily iodine. It is expressed in milligrams of iodine adsorbed per gram of activated carbon (mg/g). A higher Iodine Value, such as the 600-1200 mg/g range offered by our acid-washed granular coal-based activated carbon, indicates a greater capacity for adsorbing small organic molecules. This makes it particularly effective for applications like drinking water purification and solvent recovery where the removal of low molecular weight contaminants is crucial.

Surface Area, typically measured in square meters per gram (m²/g), quantifies the total internal and external surface available for adsorption. Our coal-based granular activated carbon boasts a high surface area, often ranging from 600 to 1150 m²/g. This vast surface area, comprised of countless pores, provides numerous sites for contaminants to adhere to. A larger surface area generally correlates with higher adsorption capacity, especially for larger molecules and in applications like air purification and gas phase adsorption.

At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we ensure that our activated carbon products, including our granulated coal activated carbon for purification, are characterized by optimal Iodine Values and Surface Areas tailored to specific applications. As a reliable bulk activated carbon supplier, we provide detailed specifications to help our clients select the most suitable product for their needs, whether they are using it for water treatment chemicals activated carbon or other industrial purposes.
