why is the price of activated carbon very different in the market

The price of any product is determined based on the product's attributes and actual value and production costs. So why is the price of activated carbon very different in the market? First of all, activated carbon is a very good adsorption material, which mainly accomplishes its physical adsorption effect based on its strong specific surface area and pore volume. That is to say, the larger the specific surface area of activated carbon, yongruida activated carbon the more expensive the price, but the specific surface area of activated carbon is more troublesome to test, and general production plants do not have such conditions.

Therefore, the main indicators of factory detection of activated carbon are iodine value, methylene blue, CTC%, which means that the higher the iodine value, the higher the specific surface area of activated carbon, and the higher the price of activated carbon. However, there are many low-iodine activated carbons on the market that are worth activating carbon to masquerade as high-iodine value activated carbon. No matter how the production process is different, the price of activated carbon is also different. For example, the columnar activated carbon in Ningxia is produced from tar, water and fine anthracite. The current market price of one ton of refined coal is about 2500 yuan, and the price of one ton of tar is about 3850-4000 yuan. Yield. Generally, based on the production of 4.0-60% of standard carbon, one ton of finished product probably requires 2.5-2.8 tons of coal and 850-900 kg of tar. carbon pellets with free sampleThe overall calculated market price is 13000-14000 finished charcoal. There is also Henan charcoal on the market. Henan uses clay and some recycled carbon powder to make columnar activated carbon. Clay is a very cheap material, and the recycled material is the waste of activated carbon after use. Their shortcomings are that they cannot produce activated carbon with high index and high specific surface area, and that activated carbon will have a lower strength than normal. Poor pore structure is easy to collapse. Therefore, its market price is 3000-4000 yuan / ton, and there is even a lower one of 1,000-2000 yuan. Therefore, the price gap in the market is relatively large.
