Product Overview

WTC is a coconut shell granular activated carbon with enhanced catalytic properties, engineered for industrial wastewater treatment and process water applications. Manufactured from premium coconut shell through carbonization and high-temperature steam activation, it delivers an iodine adsorption value exceeding 1000 mg/g with a specific surface area above 1000 m²/g.

The catalytic surface functionality distinguishes WTC from standard adsorption carbons, enabling it to support advanced oxidation and catalytic processes in wastewater treatment trains. With a pH of 8–11, high mechanical strength (>95%), and low ash content, WTC performs reliably in composite wastewater treatment, catalytic process loops, and catalyst support applications.

Key Application Areas

  • Wastewater Composite Treatment — Integrates into combined physical-chemical-biological systems for industrial effluent, supporting simultaneous adsorption and catalytic degradation of refractory organics.
  • Wastewater Catalytic Processes — Serves as a catalytic medium in advanced oxidation and catalytic wet peroxide oxidation systems for persistent organic removal.
  • Water Treatment Catalyst Support — Provides a high-purity, high-surface-area substrate for catalytic materials in environmental and chemical processing applications.
  • Industrial Process Water — Purifies manufacturing process streams by adsorbing organics and supporting catalytic reactions that break down recalcitrant contaminants.

Key Advantages

  • Catalytic Surface Functionality: Enhanced catalytic properties support advanced oxidation processes and catalytic reactions beyond simple physical adsorption, improving removal of refractory organics.
  • Coconut Shell Hardness & Purity: >95% hardness and <5% ash ensure minimal attrition and low leachable content, maintaining process stability in continuous wastewater service.
  • High Adsorption Foundation: Iodine >1000 mg/g and surface area >1000 m²/g provide robust physical adsorption capacity to complement catalytic performance.
  • Alkaline pH for Process Compatibility: pH 8–11 supports alkaline process streams and certain precipitation-catalysis reactions without requiring chemical adjustment.

  • Q
    What is the difference between WTC and WT-P/WT-S?
    A

    WT-P and WT-S are coal-based carbons optimized for adsorption-based wastewater polishing. WTC is a coconut shell carbon with enhanced catalytic properties, designed for composite and catalytic wastewater treatment processes.

  • Q
    Is WTC suitable for drinking water?
    A

    WTC is optimized for industrial wastewater and process water. For drinking water, use PSD-A0, LC-A0, or GAC series with appropriate certifications.

  • Q
    Can WTC replace biological treatment?
    A

    No. WTC complements biological systems by adsorbing and catalytically degrading non-biodegradable organics. It is typically used as a tertiary or hybrid process component.

  • Q
    What types of catalysts can be supported on WTC?
    A

    WTC serves as a substrate for various metal and metal-oxide catalysts used in environmental oxidation and wastewater treatment. Contact our technical team for specific catalyst loading recommendations.
