Product Overview
Coal powder carbon B-80 is a steam-activated coal-based powdered activated carbon selected for municipal water treatment, industrial wastewater processing and chemical purification. Manufactured from premium bituminous coal, it delivers an iodine adsorption value exceeding 800 mg/g with a pH range of 8–11.
This grade is widely used in municipal drinking water plants for seasonal taste and odor control, as well as in industrial applications requiring reliable organic removal. The alkaline pH profile makes it suitable for systems where mild pH elevation is acceptable or beneficial.
Key Application Areas
- Municipal Drinking Water — Controls seasonal taste, odor, and organic events in surface water treatment plants, protecting public water quality.
- Urban Wastewater Treatment — Reduces COD and adsorbs priority pollutants in municipal sewage plants before discharge or reuse.
- Industrial Wastewater — Treats effluent from food processing, textile, and chemical manufacturing where variable organic loads require consistent adsorption.
- Chemical Purification — Removes color bodies and organic impurities from process chemicals and solvents.
- Biological Activated Carbon — Supports bio-carbon systems where microbial growth on carbon surfaces enhances total organic removal.

Key Advantages
- Municipal-Grade Reliability: Proven performance in drinking water and municipal wastewater applications with consistent iodine >800 mg/g and controlled ash.
- Alkaline pH Benefit: The 8–11 pH range can help neutralize acidic process streams and supports certain precipitation and coagulation processes.
- Rapid Batch Response: Powdered form allows immediate dosing for algae bloom events, chemical spills, or seasonal organic spikes without bed preparation.
- Economical Large-Volume Supply: Coal-based manufacturing ensures competitive pricing for municipalities and industrial plants with continuous demand.
How B-80 Enables Coal Powder Carbon Municipal Water Treatment
Municipal surface water sources face seasonal challenges: algae blooms release geosmin and MIB, while industrial runoff introduces phenolic compounds and solvents. Standard coagulation and filtration removes particles but cannot adsorb dissolved organic molecules responsible for taste and odor. Chlorination alone may create disinfection byproducts without addressing the root cause.
B-80 solves this through coal powder carbon municipal water treatment. The steam-activated bituminous coal base develops extensive micropore volume that physically captures dissolved organic molecules through van der Waals forces. When dosed into raw water or mixed tanks, the fine powder disperses uniformly, contacting taste-and-odor compounds, pesticides, and organic precursors before they reach the filter. The 8–11 pH profile supports mild alkalinity that can aid certain coagulation chemistries. The result is consistent water quality protection during seasonal events and variable organic loading.
B-80 vs Higher-Activity Powdered Grades
| Model | Iodine Adsorption Value | Moisture Content | Ash Content | PH | Specific Surface Area | Particle Size <200 Mesh |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B-80 | >800 | <10% | <15% | 8-11 | >800 | >90 |
| B-90 | >900 | <10% | <15% | 8-11 | >900 | >90 |
| B-A0 | >1000 | <10% | <15% | 8-11 | >1000 | >90 |
Higher-activity grades such as B-90 (>900 mg/g) and B-A0 (>1000 mg/g) deliver enhanced capacity for peak organic loading or tighter effluent requirements. B-60 offers similar 800 mg/g specifications but is optimized for industrial wastewater and flue gas duty rather than municipal drinking water.
B-80 bridges this gap as a reliable coal powder carbon municipal water grade for standard applications. It provides the same >800 mg/g iodine foundation as B-60 but with formulation and quality control tailored to drinking water and municipal wastewater treatment. For seasonal taste-and-odor events where standard coagulation is insufficient, B-80 offers the most economical powdered activated carbon solution. Upgrade to B-90 for higher organic loading or B-A0 for emergency peak-shaving; choose B-80 for consistent, cost-effective municipal performance.
