Activated carbon balls and method for producing thereof

Abstract

The embodiments herein provide a method for producing activated carbonaceous balls. The method includes a step of crushing and sizing raw coconut shells to form coconut shell granules having a diameter of about 0.02 mm-2.36 mm, preferably 0.075 mm-1.18 mm. The method includes a step of mixing pure water to a food grade powder appropriately and boiling it slowly at 15° C.-80° C. to obtain a water-food grade powder mixture. The method includes a step of adding the water-food grade powder mixture 20-40% by weight to the coconut shell granules 100% by weight to obtain a slurry in a pourability condition. The method includes a step of pouring the slurry into a pill making machine equipped with a mold of 3 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm in diameters selectively to produce the spherical carbon tablets. The method includes a step of drying the spherical carbon tablets and carbonizing the spherical carbon tablets to obtain the activated carbonaceous balls.
