Product Overview
Coconut shell carbon CTC-100 is a premium coconut shell carbon solvent recovery grade with Carbon Tetrachloride Activity (CTC) exceeding 100%, representing top-tier gas-phase adsorption performance.
Manufactured from carefully selected coconut shell through carbonization and high-temperature steam activation, it delivers exceptional capacity for VOCs, low-boiling-point solvents, and sulfur-containing gases including H₂S, mercaptans, and sulfides. Available in multiple particle size distributions to match specific process requirements, CTC-100 is the benchmark for solvent recovery and industrial air purification.
Key Application Areas
- Industrial Solvent Recovery: Adsorbs solvent vapors from coating, printing, and chemical processing exhaust, enabling economic recovery and regulatory compliance with stringent VOC limits.
- Industrial VOC Treatment: Captures volatile organic compounds from manufacturing off-gas streams in fixed-bed systems, protecting community air quality and preventing odor complaints.
- Biogas & Natural Gas Purification: Removes siloxanes, hydrogen sulfide, and trace contaminants from renewable natural gas and pipeline gas, safeguarding engines and cryogenic equipment.
- Home Air Purification: Integrates into residential and commercial HVAC filters to adsorb formaldehyde, benzene, and outdoor pollutants, delivering healthier indoor environments.
- Catalyst Support: Serves as a high-purity substrate for precious metal catalysts in petrochemical and fine chemical manufacturing, where low ash and consistent sizing are critical.

Key Advantages
- Exceptional Gas-Phase Capacity: CTC values at or above 100% indicate extensive meso and macropore networks that enable rapid vapor transport and high contaminant loading.
- Rapid Breakthrough Kinetics: The optimized transport pore structure allows the bed to reach equilibrium quickly, maximizing useful capacity and reducing bed size requirements.
- Thermal Reactivation Friendly: Robust pore structure withstands multiple steam reactivation cycles with minimal capacity loss, reducing long-term operating costs in solvent recovery units.
- Low Self-Heating Risk: Engineered pore geometry minimizes heat buildup during adsorption, reducing hot spot risks in large fixed-bed installations.
How CTC-100 Achieves Coconut Shell Carbon Solvent Recovery Performance
Standard gas-phase activated carbon typically delivers CTC values of 50–80%, indicating moderate micropore development suitable for general odor control and moderate VOC loads. In solvent recovery or high-concentration industrial exhaust, lower-activity grades require more frequent regeneration cycles to maintain consistent effluent quality under sustained high-concentration solvent loading.
CTC-100 solves this through extended high-temperature steam activation that develops an exceptionally extensive micropore network. The CTC >100% rating means the carbon can adsorb its own weight in carbon tetrachloride vapor—a benchmark indicating superior gas-phase capacity. This extensive pore volume captures low-boiling-point solvents, hydrocarbons, and sulfur compounds. In coconut shell carbon solvent recovery units, this translates to longer cycles between steam regeneration. In industrial VOC treatment, it means extended service intervals and reduced total operating costs. The robust coconut shell structure also withstands repeated thermal reactivation with minimal capacity loss.
CTC-100 vs Standard Gas-Phase and Coal-Based Carbons
Standard coal pellet carbon grades such as P-80 (CTC >80%) or PL-360/460 (CTC >60%) offer economical gas-phase performance for moderate-load applications. Their lower CTC values translate to proportionally shorter adsorption cycles and more frequent regeneration under sustained high-concentration solvent loading or continuous VOC recovery duty.
CTC-100 bridges this gap as a premium coconut shell carbon solvent recovery grade with capacity rivaling specialty alternatives. The selected coconut shell base delivers >95% hardness and inherently low ash content, supporting applications where structural integrity, purity, and minimal dust generation are critical. Compared to CFV 4×8, which prioritizes low pressure drop in coarse-mesh deep beds, CTC-100 is available in finer distributions that maximize surface area contact for rapid kinetics. Choose standard coal-based pellets for general odor control and moderate VOC duty; select CTC-100 for solvent recovery, high-performance gas-phase adsorption, and applications where thermal regenerability and premium capacity justify the investment.
