In the chemical industry, NORIT® activated carbons find widespread use to purify numerous products - ranging from bulk to fine chemicals (e.g. hydrochloric and phosphoric acid, methionine, pentaerythritol, tartaric acid). They are also used in the recycling of chemicals (e.g. metal plating baths and dry cleaning solvents).
Our products effectively remove:
- Feedstock impurities
- Synthesis byproducts
- Residues from extractants, catalysts, etc.
- Impurities collected during use
More than 50 NORIT activated carbon grades are used for purification of chemicals. We supply:
- Powdered, granular, and extruded grades
- Different pore structures to best fit the impurity molecules
- Hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces to optimize the affinity for impurities
- Standard and high purity grades
- A wide choice of particle size distributions for optimized handling (pressure drop, filtration
After its use, a spent granular activated carbon may be suitable for re-activation by NORIT followed by re-use. A highly sustainable approach towards purification!
