Product Overview

B-80 is a steam-activated coal-based powdered activated carbon selected for municipal water treatment, industrial wastewater processing, and chemical purification. Manufactured from premium bituminous coal, it delivers an iodine adsorption value exceeding 800 mg/g with a pH range of 8–11.

This grade is widely used in municipal drinking water plants for seasonal taste and odor control, as well as in industrial applications requiring reliable organic removal. The alkaline pH profile makes it suitable for systems where mild pH elevation is acceptable or beneficial.

Key Application Areas

  • Municipal Drinking Water — Controls seasonal taste, odor, and organic events in surface water treatment plants, protecting public water quality.
  • Urban Wastewater Treatment — Reduces COD and adsorbs priority pollutants in municipal sewage plants before discharge or reuse.
  • Industrial Wastewater — Treats effluent from food processing, textile, and chemical manufacturing where variable organic loads require consistent adsorption.
  • Chemical Purification — Removes color bodies and organic impurities from process chemicals and solvents.
  • Biological Activated Carbon — Supports bio-carbon systems where microbial growth on carbon surfaces enhances total organic removal.

Key Advantages

  • Municipal-Grade Reliability: Proven performance in drinking water and municipal wastewater applications with consistent iodine >800 mg/g and controlled ash.
  • Alkaline pH Benefit: The 8–11 pH range can help neutralize acidic process streams and supports certain precipitation and coagulation processes.
  • Rapid Batch Response: Powdered form allows immediate dosing for algae bloom events, chemical spills, or seasonal organic spikes without bed preparation.
  • Economical Large-Volume Supply: Coal-based manufacturing ensures competitive pricing for municipalities and industrial plants with continuous demand.

  • Q
    Should I choose B-80 or B-90 for municipal water?
    A

    B-80 delivers >800 mg/g iodine for standard taste and odor control. B-90 offers >900 mg/g for higher organic loading or tighter effluent requirements.

  • Q
    Does the 8–11 pH affect coagulation chemistry?
    A

    In most cases, the mild alkalinity is compatible with alum and ferric chloride coagulation. For pH-sensitive systems, jar testing is recommended.

  • Q
    Can B-80 remove PFAS or emerging contaminants?
    A

    Powdered activated carbon can adsorb certain PFAS compounds. Contact our technical team for site-specific guidance on contact time and dosage optimization.

  • Q
    What is the typical shelf life?
    A

    When stored dry in sealed packaging, B-80 maintains adsorption capacity for 24 months. Exposure to moisture and organic vapors should be minimized.
