Product Overview

F-14 is an entry-level phosphoric acid activated wood powder carbon, offering a strong balance of decolorization performance and cost efficiency for food, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing. The phosphoric acid activation process develops a highly mesoporous structure that excels at removing color bodies, high-molecular-weight organics, and colloidal impurities.

With a methylene blue adsorption value exceeding 210 mg/g, F-14 handles standard decolorization loads in continuous processing systems where rapid filtration and reliable quality are required.

Key Application Areas

  • Pharmaceutical Decolorization & Purification — Removes color bodies and impurities from active pharmaceutical ingredients and excipients, supporting compliance with purity standards.
  • Edible Oil Refining — Bleaches vegetable and animal oils by adsorbing pigments and oxidation products during deodorization processes.
  • Beverage Clarification — Polishes wine, beer, spirits, and soft drinks by removing haze-forming colloids and excess color.
  • Chemical Processing — Purifies intermediates and fine chemicals where large-molecule contaminant removal is needed.
  • Sugar & Syrup Decolorization — Treats cane and beet sugar syrups to achieve target brightness without over-processing.

Key Advantages

  • Cost-Effective Mesopore Development: Methylene blue >210 mg/g provides reliable color removal for standard loads, making it economical for high-volume food and chemical processors.
  • Fast Filtration Speed: The phosphoric acid activation process creates transport pores that allow rapid solid-liquid separation, improving batch throughput.
  • Low-Ash Wood Base: Naturally lower metals content than coal or coconut shell alternatives reduces contamination risk in food-contact and pharmaceutical applications.
  • Consistent pH Profile: The 2–5 pH range supports acidic process streams and stabilizes certain color reactions in wine and juice processing.

  • Q
    What is the difference between F-14 and F-16?
    A

    F-14 delivers >210 mg/g methylene blue for standard decolorization. F-16 offers >240 mg/g for enhanced capacity and faster processing of heavier color loads.

  • Q
    Is F-14 suitable for food-grade applications?
    A

    Yes. F-14 is manufactured under food production license standards and is widely used in edible oil, sugar, and beverage processing.

  • Q
    Can F-14 remove heavy metals from water?
    A

    F-14 is optimized for color and large organic molecule removal. For heavy metal adsorption, consider PSD-A0 or impregnated specialty carbons.

  • Q
    Does the phosphoric acid residue affect product safety?
    A

    The acid is washed out during manufacturing, leaving trace levels within food-grade specifications. The final pH of 2–5 reflects surface chemistry, not free acid content.
