The iodine value of coconut shell activated carbon is a measure of its micropore content and adsorption capacity, typically determined by its ability to adsorb iodine from an aqueous solution. For coconut shell activated carbon, which is known for its high surface area and microporosity, the iodine value typically ranges between 1000 to 1400 mg/g. This high iodine value indicates a good adsorption capacity, making it effective for applications in water purification, air treatment, and other adsorption processes.
The exact iodine value can vary based on the activation process and the specific characteristics of the coconut shells used. To determine the iodine value experimentally, a standard method like ASTM D4607-94 can be followed, which involves:
1.Preparing a standard iodine solution.
2.Mixing a known amount of activated carbon with the iodine solution.
3.Filtering the mixture and titrating the filtrate with sodium thiosulfate to determine the remaining iodine concentration.
4.Calculating the iodine value based on the amount of iodine adsorbed by the carbon.
PT.Indofurnace produces coconut shell activated carbon with an iodine value of 1000-1300. If you need specific specifications of coconut shell activated carbon, you can contact me and I will provide you with specific specifications.
