Activated carbons are normally classified by quality (adsorptive capacity) and
granular size, but can also be given product names that usually give reference to :
- The raw material used in manufacturing the product.
- Any secondary, or special, processing of the material.
- The intended application of the end product.
PT. Freeman produces the following range of products from coconut shell charcoal :
Granular Activated Carbon :
- Sizes ranging from 4x8 mesh
down to 30x70 mesh.
- Quality ranging from 40% CTC
min, up to 60% CTC min.
- (CTC refers to the Carbon
Tetrachloride adsorptive capacity of the carbon).
Powder Activated Carbon :
- Milled to 60% min, below 75
micron (200 mesh).
- Quality ranging from 900mg/g
to 1200mg/g Iodine adsorption.
Within this range, PT. Freeman manufactures a series of standard products, specially developed for specific applications. These products, as listed in the table below, are marketed under the trade name of :
