Activated Carbon for Buyers in Estonia
Activated carbon is a porous material used to adsorb unwanted substances from water, liquids, air, and gases.
The right activated carbon depends on the job it needs to do. A carbon that works well for drinking water may not be the best choice for industrial wastewater or gas purification.
Important factors can include:
- Raw material
- Pore structure
- Iodine value
- Particle size
- Hardness
- Moisture
- Ash content
- Surface area
- Contact time
- Target contaminant
MICBAC manufactures different grades so buyers can select a product according to their actual process requirements.
Our activated carbon products can be used in applications such as:
- Drinking water treatment
- Industrial water treatment
- Wastewater treatment
- Air purification
- Gas purification
- Colour removal
- Taste and odour control
- Food and beverage processing
- Pharmaceutical applications
- Gold recovery
- Industrial process purification
Our Activated Carbon Products
Granular Activated Carbon
Granular Activated Carbon, or GAC, is commonly used in fixed-bed and packed-bed treatment systems.
MICBAC manufactures granular activated carbon using coconut shell and coal-based raw materials. Different particle sizes and specifications are available depending on the product and application.
Our granular activated carbon range can be considered for:
- Drinking water treatment
- Industrial water treatment
- Wastewater treatment
- Dechlorination
- Colour removal

Coconut Shell Activated Carbon
Coconut shell activated carbon is produced from coconut shells and generally has a highly microporous structure.
It can be suitable for applications where adsorption of smaller molecules is important. It is commonly considered for water purification, dechlorination, taste and odour control, and gold recovery.
MICBAC offers coconut shell based activated carbon in different grades and sizes.
The correct grade should be selected according to the actual application rather than choosing a product only because it has a high iodine value.
Coal Based Activated Carbon
Coal based activated carbon can have a combination of micropores, mesopores, and larger pores. This makes it useful for a wide range of industrial adsorption applications.
It can be considered for:
- Wastewater treatment
- Industrial water treatment
- Colour removal
- Organic contaminant adsorption
- Air purification
- Gas treatment
- Industrial process purification
MICBAC offers coal-based activated carbon in different product forms and specifications.
For a better product selection, buyers can share the target contaminant, process conditions, current carbon specification, and required quantity.
Powdered Activated Carbon
Powdered Activated Carbon, also called PAC, is normally added directly into a liquid or treatment process.
It can be useful when carbon needs to be mixed into water or another liquid instead of being used in a fixed-bed filter.
MICBAC manufactures powdered activated carbon using coconut shell, coal, and wood-based raw materials.
Applications can include:
- Wastewater treatment
- Industrial water treatment
- Colour removal
- Food and beverage processing
- Decolourisation
- Pharmaceutical processing
- Industrial purification
- Flue gas treatment
MICBAC’s published PAC specifications include iodine numbers of 800–1,100 mg/g, BET surface area of 900–1,200 m²/g, moisture of up to 3%, and mesh sizes from 100–325 mesh, depending on the grade.
Activated Carbon Pellets
Activated carbon pellets are cylindrical activated carbon products commonly used for air and gas treatment.
The pellet shape can provide good airflow and is useful in applications where controlled particle geometry and mechanical strength are important.
Pellet activated carbon can be considered for:
- Air purification
- VOC adsorption
- Odour control
- Gas purification
- Solvent recovery
- Industrial gas treatment
The correct pellet grade depends on the gas composition, contaminant concentration, humidity, temperature, airflow, and required adsorption performance.
Activated Carbon for Water Treatment in Estonia
Water treatment is one of the important applications of activated carbon.
Activated carbon can help adsorb certain organic compounds and can be used to reduce substances that affect taste, odour, colour, and other water quality parameters.
However, water treatment systems are different from one another. The right carbon depends on the water quality and the contaminants that need to be removed.
When selecting activated carbon for water treatment, buyers should consider:
- Type of water
- Target contaminants
- Contaminant concentration
- Flow rate
- Contact time
- Carbon dosage
- Particle size
- Iodine value
- Hardness
- Ash content
For a new application, testing a representative carbon sample with the actual water can provide a better indication of performance than comparing only product specifications.
Activated Carbon for Wastewater Treatment
Industrial wastewater can contain dissolved organic compounds, colour, odour, and other contaminants.
Activated carbon can be used as part of a wastewater treatment process when adsorption is suitable for the contaminants involved.
MICBAC supplies granular and powdered activated carbon for industrial treatment applications.
Carbon selection should be based on the actual wastewater because different contaminants can behave differently during adsorption.
Important factors can include:
- Contaminant type
- Molecular size
- Concentration
- pH
- Temperature
- Contact time
- Carbon dosage
- Particle size
For this reason, choosing carbon only on the basis of iodine value may not give the best result.
If you have an existing carbon specification or wastewater analysis, you can share it with our team for product evaluation.
Activated Carbon for Air and Gas Purification
Activated carbon is also used to remove certain unwanted compounds from air and industrial gases.
Depending on the application, activated carbon can be used for adsorption of VOCs, odour-causing compounds, solvent vapours, and other gaseous contaminants.
MICBAC supplies granular and pellet activated carbon for gas-phase applications.
Before selecting a product, buyers should consider:
- Gas composition
- Target contaminant
- Contaminant concentration
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Airflow
- Contact time
- Required adsorption performance
Providing these details helps in evaluating a more suitable carbon grade.
Activated Carbon for Food and Beverage Applications
Activated carbon can be used in food and beverage processing for applications such as colour removal, purification, taste improvement, and odour reduction.
MICBAC manufactures activated carbon from different raw materials and offers different grades for industrial processing applications.
Possible applications include:
- Sugar processing
- Glucose processing
- Edible oil treatment
- Beverage purification
- Decolourisation
- Food processing
The appropriate carbon should be selected according to the specific process and product requirements.
For applications involving food or drinking water, buyers should confirm the applicable certification and compliance documentation for the exact carbon grade being purchased.
Activated Carbon for Pharmaceutical Applications
Activated carbon is used in some pharmaceutical processes for adsorption, purification, and colour removal.
These applications can require tighter control over product specifications and documentation.
MICBAC supplies activated carbon grades for pharmaceutical and high-purity applications.
The exact grade and applicable documentation should be confirmed according to the intended use and customer specification.
How to Select the Right Activated Carbon
Choosing activated carbon only by price or one specification can lead to poor treatment performance.
A better approach is to match the carbon with the actual process.
1. Identify the Contaminant
First, identify what needs to be removed. Different contaminants can require different pore structures and adsorption characteristics.
2. Select the Raw Material
Coconut shell, coal, and wood-based activated carbons have different pore structures and properties.
3. Choose the Product Form
Granular, powdered, and pellet activated carbon are used in different types of treatment systems.
4. Check Particle Size
Particle size can affect pressure drop, contact behaviour, handling, and mass transfer.
5. Review Important Specifications
Depending on the application, specifications such as iodine value, surface area, hardness, moisture, ash, bulk density, and pore characteristics may be important.
6. Test the Product
For important industrial applications, testing a representative sample before placing a large order can help confirm product suitability.
