1100 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Carbon for Water Treatment

Huajing’s 1100 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Carbon for Water Treatment is a specialized product developed specifically for municipal water supply and residential water purification scenarios. By offering high iodine values, high purity, and exceptional stability, it effectively resolves common industry pain points associated with traditional water purification carbons—such as insufficient adsorption capacity, susceptibility to pulverization, and short service life—thereby providing safe and reliable consumable solutions for drinking water purification projects worldwide.
Supporting customization of both particle size and performance specifications, it serves as a high-performance, specialized apricot shell activated carbon ideal for bulk procurement and as a replacement consumable for water purification equipment.

Core Production Process

China Huajing’s 1100 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Activated Carbon for Water Treatment utilizes a chemical-free, high-temperature steam physical activation process that complies with drinking water safety standards at every stage:
Raw Material Selection: Carefully selected, hard apricot shells sourced locally from Chengde are chosen; impurities and moldy materials are rigorously removed to ensure the purity of the raw organic base material.
Carbonization and Activation: The materials are fed into a proprietary, self-developed activation furnace. Following high-temperature carbonization, they react with steam to specifically generate a highly developed structure of micropores and mesopores, precisely targeting and achieving an iodine value of ≥1100 mg/g.
Refining and Screening: The product undergoes washing, drying, multi-stage screening, quality inspection, and packaging. Strict controls are applied to particle size, mechanical strength, and ash content specifications to eliminate the risks of pulverization and chemical residue. In contrast to chemically activated carbons, this physically produced 1100 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Carbon for Water Treatment contains no residual chemical reagents, and its ash content remains ≤5%.

Core Product Advantages

1. High Iodine Value (1100): Maximized Adsorption Performance. Iodine value is the key metric for assessing an activated carbon's capacity to adsorb small molecules. Our 1100 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Activated Carbon for Water Treatment features an abundance of micropores and a large specific surface area. Its adsorption efficiency for residual chlorine, heavy metals, and organic pollutants in water is over 30% higher than that of standard 900 iodine value apricot shell carbon. This results in a longer service life per single fill, significantly reducing long-term procurement and replacement costs.
2. Pure Apricot Shell Material: Drinking Water Grade Safety. Produced using natural apricot shell raw materials and a physical activation process, our product ensures zero heavy metal leaching and no chemical residues. It holds dual certification for both Quality Management Systems and Environmental Management Systems. The purified water quality meets national standards for domestic drinking water, making it safe and reliable for use in both households and water treatment plants.
3. High Strength & Backwash Resistance: Ideal for Engineering Applications. With a particle strength of ≥94%, the carbon can withstand repeated backwashing cycles within water purification equipment. It resists crushing and prevents pipe clogging during long-term operation, making it perfectly suited for continuous-operation scenarios—such as large-scale adsorption towers in municipal waterworks or central water purification systems in residential complexes—thereby reducing the frequency of equipment maintenance.
4. Customized Adaptability: Comprehensive Scenario Coverage. We support diverse procurement needs, ranging from small-batch trials to large-scale engineering orders and parameter customization. We offer a one-stop solution for various requirements, including water plant tenders, equipment manufacturer integration, and end-user retail replacements. Our 1100 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Carbon for Water Treatment truly delivers on the promise of "production on demand, ready for immediate application."

Application Scenarios

Municipal Waterworks: Used as filler in activated carbon adsorption towers to remove odors, color, and COD from raw water, thereby enhancing the quality of treated water leaving the plant.
Residential/Building Water Purification: Integrated into central water purification systems to ensure the safety of direct-drinking water within communities and to improve the taste of the water supply.
Home/Commercial Water Purification: Serves as the core consumable filter media in water purifiers, removing harmful substances from water and remaining compatible with a wide range of countertop and floor-standing purification devices.
Decentralized Water Purification: Deployed within our company's proprietary decentralized purification systems; this solution requires no dedicated plant facilities and adds no extra electrical load, making it ideal for purifying water sources in mines, schools, and remote regions.

Usage and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Pre-loading Cleaning: Clear any internal impurities from the equipment before loading to prevent foreign objects from mixing with the 1100 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Carbon for Water Treatment, which could reduce adsorption efficiency.
2. Initial Rinse: After loading the new carbon, rinse the equipment 2–3 times with clean water to remove floating dust before putting it into service.
3. Regular Backwashing: Periodically backwash the equipment based on water quality test results; promptly replace the carbon with a fresh batch once adsorption saturation is reached.
4. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to a decline in adsorption performance.

FAQ

Q1: What is the core difference between the 1100 Iodine Value Apricot Shell Carbon for Water Treatment and ordinary apricot shell water purification carbon?
A: China Huajing's 1100 Iodine Value product features a higher iodine value (indicating greater adsorption capacity), superior mechanical strength, and enhanced resistance to backwashing. It is specifically engineered for high-standard drinking water purification applications, making it ideally suited for both large-scale engineering projects and home water filtration systems that demand exceptional water quality and operational stability.

Q2: How do I determine the appropriate replacement cycle after purchasing the product?
A: For municipal water treatment plants, we recommend testing adsorption performance every 3–6 months. For home water purifiers, we suggest replacing the carbon every 6–12 months. You are welcome to contact us for complimentary water quality testing and personalized replacement recommendations.

Q3: Do you offer sample testing prior to purchase?
A: Yes, we accept free sample requests. This allows you to test the product's performance firsthand before placing a bulk order, thereby minimizing your purchasing risk.
