Kureha Carbon Products - BAC - Bead Activated Carbon

BAC Product Profile

Kureha’s Bead-shaped Activated Carbon (BAC) is a highly spherical activated carbon with high purity and less metal, which comes from the raw material, petroleum pitch. Because of its low levels of impurity, BAC offers various unique features in addition to its original adsorption performance.

Main Usages or Applications

VOC Control
Solvent Recovery
Water treatment
Exhaust gas, water purification
Clean room air filters, chemical filters
Polysilicon production process
Trichlorosilane purification

Features of BAC

High-fill Capability

Due to the high bulk density, BAC is able to achieve high fill density compared to coal based activated carbon or coconut shell based activated carbon in the same volume capacity.

High Flowability

Due to the high flowability by the spherical shape, BAC reaches all areas of a complex-shaped container.

Low Carbon Dust

BAC generates less carbon dust due to the bead format ion process that does not use binder

High Purity

High purity prevents contamination of your product.

High Strength, High Wear Resistance

High strength and high wear resistance prevents carbon contamination from BAC.

Narrow Particle Size Distribution

Grades are set by average particle size, providing consistent quality.

Proprietary Production Process

The features of BAC are ensured by the proprietary production process. BAC is produced under an integrated process from raw material pitch with low metal impurities. Beads are formed without any binder. The uniform infusion and activation process on a fluidized bed contribute to the consistent quality of BAC.
