It stands as a highly cost-effective, specialized apricot shell activated carbon—an ideal choice for bulk purchasing and long-term partnerships in water purification projects.

Product Advantages

1. Superior Raw Materials & Pure Physical Activation: Unlike products utilizing inferior inputs, our 1000 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Carbon for Water Treatment selects only premium apricot shells characterized by high hardness and minimal impurities. We employ a purely physical, high-temperature activation method—free from chemical additives—thereby eliminating the risk of secondary contamination and ensuring full compliance with drinking water safety standards. 2. Exceptional Adsorption Performance: With a stable iodine value exceeding 1000 mg/g, its specific surface area and porosity far surpass those of ordinary apricot shell carbons. This results in an adsorption efficiency for residual chlorine, odor-causing molecules, and organic pollutants in water that is improved by over 30%.
3. High Mechanical Strength: Boasting a product strength of ≥94%, it demonstrates excellent resistance to water flow and backwashing. It resists pulverization after loading, significantly extending the replacement cycle and reducing operation and maintenance costs.
4. Low Ash Content: With an ash content of ≤5%, it prevents the leaching of impurities that could compromise water quality, making it suitable for the most demanding drinking water purification applications.
5. Upgraded Purification Solution: Compared to apricot shell carbons with lower iodine values, our 1000 Iodine Value product offers greater adsorption capacity, more thorough purification, and a longer service life—making it the superior choice for upgrading water purification projects.

Why Choose Huajing?

1. Rigorous Raw Material Selection & Activation: Huajing operates a modern production facility spanning 158 mu (approx. 10.5 hectares) and houses 16 state-of-the-art activation furnaces. We firmly believe that high-quality raw materials are the cornerstone of superior activated carbon. Every single granule of our apricot shell activated carbon undergoes multiple stages of rigorous screening to ensure it is completely free of impurities. Under high-temperature steam activation at 800–900°C, countless "traps" (micropores)—invisible to the naked eye—are formed within the apricot shells. These micropores endow the product with an iodine value of up to 1000 mg/g, ensuring both rapid adsorption rates and high adsorption capacity.

2. Low Ash Content, High Purity
For the food and drinking water industries, ash content is a critical metric for determining the suitability of activated carbon. Huajing strictly adheres to national standards; our Class A products maintain an ash content of ≤5%, significantly outperforming the industry average. This ensures that during use, the activated carbon does not leach excessive inorganic minerals into the water, guaranteeing a sweet, clean taste in the treated water and preventing discoloration—thereby truly meeting food-grade purification standards.

3. High Strength, Long Service Life
Benefiting from the inherent dense structure of apricot shells, our 1000 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Carbon for Water Treatment boasts a high mechanical strength of ≥94%. Within water treatment systems, it withstands the scouring force of high-velocity water flows and rigorous backwashing operations without easily fracturing or pulverizing. This significantly extends the replacement cycle, thereby reducing your long-term operational costs.

Technical Parameters Table

Process Introduction

Huajing’s 1000 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Carbon for Water Treatment utilizes a proprietary high-temperature steam activation process conducted within our self-developed activation furnaces. The entire production process is divided into five core stages:
① Raw Material Selection: Moldy or impure apricot shells are meticulously removed to ensure the purity of the raw materials.
② Crushing and Screening: Particle size is precisely controlled within the 10–24 mesh range to ensure optimal compatibility with water purification equipment filling requirements.
③ High-Temperature Carbonization: Conducted at 600°C in an oxygen-free environment to establish the foundational pore structure.
④ Steam Activation: High-temperature activation at 800–900°C expands the pores and increases pore volume, ensuring the iodine value meets the target standard of 1000 mg/g.
⑤ Quality Inspection and Packaging: The product is hermetically sealed and packaged only after passing comprehensive quality inspections across all technical parameters, thereby preventing moisture absorption and preserving product efficacy.

Application Scenarios

1000 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Carbon for Water Treatment specializes in the advanced purification of drinking water:
① Municipal Water Treatment Plants: Used as a filter bed packing material to remove odors, color, and organic pollutants from raw water sources.
② Residential/Commercial Direct Drinking Water Systems: Serves as the core filtration medium for household and commercial water purifiers, ensuring the treated water is fresh-tasting and free of odors.
③ Hotel/School Water Supply Systems: Facilitates centralized water purification to guarantee water safety for occupants.
④ Rural Distributed Water Purification Projects: Compatible with Huajing’s proprietary distributed purification systems for tap water source wells; operates efficiently without the need for external electricity, relying solely on the natural pressure of the water source.
Tailored to specific scenarios, Huajing offers customized packing solutions to ensure that the 1000 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Activated Carbon delivers optimal purification performance.

Usage and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Prior to Packing: Clean the interior of the purification equipment to remove impurities and prevent clogging.
2. Packing Depth: A packing depth of ≥50 cm is recommended for the 1000 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Activated Carbon to ensure sufficient contact time with the water flow.
3. Regular Backwashing: Periodically backwash the equipment to remove surface-trapped impurities and restore the material's adsorption capacity.
4. Replacement: Replace the activated carbon promptly if the treated water exhibits excessive odors or discoloration. The typical replacement cycle is approximately 6–12 months (depending on the specific water quality).
5. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area; avoid exposure to moisture or direct sunlight. Unused product should be kept in a sealed container.
