Activated Carbon Production from Coconut Shell (Steam Activation)
This report presents the economics of a typical steam activation process for Powdered Activated Carbon production from coconut shell in the United States. In the process examined, the coconut shells are crushed and then carbonized into a charcoal, which is activated by steam at high temperatures. The Activated Carbon is ground into powder of specified mesh size.

Activated Carbon Production from Coal
This study approaches the economics of Powdered Activated Carbon production from coal in the United States via a typical steam activation process. In the process examined, coal is carbonized into a hot coal char, which is activated by steam at high temperatures.

Activated Carbon Production from Coconut Shell (Chemical Activation)
This study approaches an economic analysis of a typical chemical activation process for Powdered Activated Carbon production from coconut shell in the United States. Phosphoric acid is used as chemical activation reagent. Activation is carried out concomitantly with carbonization, in a rotary kiln.
