Active Carbon ( coconut ) For Chemical Purification Recrystallisation - 100g

Active Carbon (Coconut) for Chemical Purification & Recrystallization
Other Names: Activated Carbon, Coconut Shell Activated Charcoal

CAS Number: 7440-44-0
Sum Formula: C
Molar Mass: 12.01 g/mol
Appearance: Black powder or granules

Activated carbon derived from coconut shells is a high-purity adsorbent with a highly porous structure, widely used in chemical purification, decolorization, and recrystallization processes. It efficiently removes organic contaminants, colored impurities, and trace byproducts from solutions.

Chemical and Physical Properties

Density: ~0.5 g/cm³ (bulk density; varies by grade)
Surface Area: Typically 800–1500 m²/g
Pore Structure: Microporous and mesoporous
Solubility: Insoluble in water and organic solvents
Odor: Odorless

Applications

Chemical Purification: Removes contaminants and impurities from chemical mixtures.

Recrystallization: Improves product purity by adsorbing colored or insoluble byproducts.

Filtration Systems: Used in water and air purification to remove toxins, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Process Industry: Applied in refining, recycling, and solvent recovery systems.

Safety
