کربن فعال گرانول (Granular Activated Carbon)

Introduction

Activated carbon is one of the most widely used adsorbents in various industries, which has the ability to absorb a wide range of pollutants due to its porous structure and high specific level. The price of activated carbon is affected by several factors, and being aware of these parameters helps buyers to make the best choice according to their needs and budget. In this article, we will examine the price of activated carbon and We will discuss the factors affecting it .

Types of activated carbon and their price ranges

Activated carbon is produced in different types, each of which has a different application and price:

1. کربن فعال پودری (PAC) – Powdered Activated Carbon)

  • Price range: 15,000 to 45,000 Tomans per kilogram

  • Applications: Water & Wastewater Treatment, Food & Pharmaceutical Industry

2. Carbon Activated Granular (GAUC) – Granular Activated Carbon)

  • Price range: 20,000 to 60,000 Rials per kilogram

  • Applications: Air & Water Purification Filters, Chemical Industry

3. Activated carbon calcined (neutral)

  • Price range: 25,000 to 70,000 Rials per kilogram

  • Applications: Pharmaceutical & Electrochemical Industries

4. Activated carbon rod (extrode)

  • Price range: 30,000 to 80,000 Rials per kilogram

  • Applications: Industrial Gas Treatment Systems

5. Carbon activated coconut base

  • Price range: 40,000 to 100,000 Tomans per kilogram

  • Applications: Advanced Air Purification, Home Water Treatment Filters

Main Parameters Affecting the Price of Activated Carbon

1. Raw material (carbon base)

2. Activation Method

  • Physical Activation (with Water Steam): More Cost-Effective

  • Chemical activation (with acids): More expensive (due to higher purity)

3. سطح ویژه (BET Surface Area)

  • The higher the specific level (e.g., 1000-2000 m²/g), the higher the price.

4. Particle size and physical shape

  • Powdered carbon is cheaper than granular and rod carbon.

5. Purity grade and ash content

  • Carbons with less ash (below 5%) are more expensive.

6. Packing and Purchase Quantity

  • Buying in bulk (tons) reduces the price per kilogram.

7. Currency fluctuations and global raw material prices

  • The price of oil and coal has a direct impact on the cost of production.

Activated carbon price comparison table based on different parameters

Parameter Price Impact Range example
Raw Material Type 20% to 50% difference Coconut spongy ves
Special Level 10% to 30% increase 500 m²/g vs 1500 m²/g
Activation Method 15% to 40% difference Physical than chemical
Particle size 10% to 25% difference Powder vs Granular
Ash content 5% to 20% difference Ash 3% etc 10%

Guide to Buying Activated Carbon at the Best Price

  1. Specify your need accurately (e.g. for water or gas treatment).

  2. Comparison of prices of domestic and foreign suppliers (China, India, Iran).

  3. Bulk purchases to reduce costs (volume discounts).

  4. Pay attention to quality and certifications (NSF, ISO standards).

  5. Suggestion: If you are looking for a reasonable price, choose charcoal or wood carbon. If you need high efficiency, coconut carbon is a better option.

Conclusion

The price of activated carbon varies depending on the type of raw material, production method, specific level, and purity . To buy cost-effectively, you need to balance your technical needs with a budget. Powdered carbons and charcoal are better suited for general use, while coconut and rod carbons work better for more specialized applications.
