Bead-Shaped Activated CarbonBAC

Behind-the-scenes support for the environmental business

BAC is a highly spherical activated carbon made from petroleum pitch. Developed using Kureha's original technologies, its excellent strength and flowability enables wide-ranging uses, including air deodorizing, gas adsorption and water purification.

Characteristics

High fill capacity High bulk density allows for high-density filling, providing better adsorption capacity than a similar volume of coal-based or coconut shell-based activated carbon.
High flowability High flowability allows the activated carbon to spread throughout even complex-shaped containers.
Low carbon dust No binders are used in the formation process, meaning excellent strength and wear resistance, and less dust.
High purity The raw material pitch has few impurities, resulting in a low level of metal impurities.
Precise particle size distribution Particle diameter is consistent by grade, providing stable performance.

Uses/Applications

Water treatment facilities

High flowability, low carbon dust, and precise particle distribution make BAC ideally suited for adsorption on fluidized beds.
Production plant exhaust gas and waste water recovery systems

High flowability and strength allow for use on the gaseous layer inside pipes, or liquid-fluidized beds
Clean room air and chemical filters

High purity, low carbon dust and high fill capacity have led to use even in fixed beds, and applications requiring separation from foreign matter.
Polysilicon production process

High purity prevents contamination by impurities during the production process.
