High-Performance Adsorbents Exported from Sri Lanka to the World
Sri Lanka is globally recognized for producing some of the finest coconut shell-based activated carbon, and our product reflects that legacy of excellence.
The country’s dense, hard-shelled coconuts, combined with decades of carbon processing expertise, make Sri Lankan activated carbon a global benchmark—trusted by gold mines across Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia.
Specially developed for gold recovery in CIP/CIL processes, our activated carbon delivers:
✅ Ultra-high adsorption capacity (iodine value 1100–1200 mg/g)
✅ Superior hardness to withstand multiple reactivation cycles
✅ Exceptionally low ash and moisture for cleaner performance
✅ Consistent particle sizing (6×12, 8×16 mesh) for optimal flow and contact time
Made from 100% Sri Lankan coconut shells, our carbon is steam-activated to preserve microporosity—ensuring faster gold loading, minimal loss, and high recovery rates.
Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) is a highly effective form of activated carbon derived from coconut shells. This type of activated carbon is widely used due to its superior hardness, high surface area, and porosity, which make it suitable for a variety of applications. GAC consists of larger granules or particles, offering a balance between surface area and flow rate. It is widely used in water treatment, air purification, and gas-phase applications due to its versatility and effectiveness in adsorbing a wide range of contaminants.
Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is a fine, powdered form of activated carbon produced from coconut shells. Similar to granulated activated carbon (GAC), PAC is known for its high surface area, porosity, and adsorption capacity. The primary difference lies in its particle size, which is much smaller, typically less than 0.18 mm in diameter. This small particle size provides a larger surface area per unit volume, making it highly effective for certain applications. PAC is often used in water and wastewater treatment for its rapid absorption kinetics and effective removal of organic contaminants, taste, and odor.
Impregnated (acid) activated carbon is a specialized form of activated carbon that has been treated with certain chemicals, typically acids, to enhance its adsorption properties for specific contaminants. This type of activated carbon retains the high surface area and porosity characteristic of coconut shell-based activated carbon but includes additional chemical properties due to the impregnation process. Its ability to target specific contaminants, particularly acidic gases and heavy metals makes it valuable in industrial, environmental, medical, and chemical processing applications.
Catalytic activated carbon is a specialized form of activated carbon that is treated or impregnated with catalysts to enhance its ability to promote chemical reactions. This type of activated carbon retains the high surface area and porosity of coconut shell-based activated carbon but is optimized for catalytic applications. Its ability to promote specific chemical reactions makes it valuable in industrial processes, energy production, environmental protection, and advanced water and air treatment technologies.
