Product Overview
The "1200D" designation tells you exactly what you're getting: a coconut shell carbon with an iodine number exceeding 1200 mg/g, placing it in the top tier of commercially available activated carbons. The "D" indicates our direct-activation process that maximizes micropore development without the pore-blocking effects of excessive binder use.
This product is for operators who measure success in parts per billion, not parts per million. When your process demands the highest possible adsorption capacity—whether for trace contaminant removal, precious metal recovery, or critical air purification—1200D delivers the performance margin you need.
Key application areas
- Ultra-pure water systems — semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and laboratory applications
- Critical air filtration — cleanrooms, museums, and archival storage
- Precious metal recovery — secondary recovery from dilute process streams
- Specialty chemical purification — removing trace impurities that affect product quality
- High-end residential water treatment — for discerning homeowners who want the best
Performance Profile
The exceptional iodine number reflects an extensive micropore network with pore diameters optimized for small molecular adsorbates. This makes 1200D particularly effective for:
- Chlorine and chloramine residuals
- Trihalomethanes (THMs) and other disinfection byproducts
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with molecular weights under 200
- Pesticides and herbicide traces in surface water
