Storage, Handling and Transportation
Storage Procedure: Steam Activated carbon must be stored tightly closed in well ventilated and dry warehouses in secure packaging which precludes moisture and atmospheric contaminants. Precautions must be taken to avoid direct contact of stored activated carbon with strong oxidising agents such as chlorine, hypo chlorites, potassium permanganate, ozone, peroxide etc. Activated carbon in storage must not come in contact with hydrocarbons like oils, gasoline, diesel fuel, grease, paint thinners etc. as mixing of carbon with hydrocarbons may cause spontaneous combustion. Store the material away from heat, ignition sources and combustible materials.
Handling: Direct body exposure should be minimised as a good hygienic practice. Avoid getting this material into contact with your eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with this material. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid the formation of airborne dusts. Wet activated carbon selectively depletes oxygen from air. When entering even partially enclosed area containing activated carbon, the oxygen levels must be determined, adequate precautions exercised and appropriate protective equipment used if necessary.
Transportation: Steam activated carbon is non-hazardous and exposed to the atmosphere for more than 24hours before packing. It is therefore excluded from IATA #395, IMCO class 4.2 or UN1362.

Freight classification: NMFC #40560, UFC - #20460. This product is therefore acceptable for carriage by sea, road or air.
Fire and explosion related data and fighting measures
Fire and Explosion hazards: Steam activated carbon is combustible but not easily ignitable below 2000C and self ignition in air is at well above 3500C. Activated carbon is an electrical conductor and should therefore not be allowed to accumulate as dust on open electrical circuits. Electrical outlets, lights and motors in dry carbon feed and storage areas should be of such construction as to preclude the entrance of carbon dust. Suspension of powdered activated carbon may explode if exposed to strong sources of ignition. Upon combustion, this product may emit carbon monoxide and low molecular weight hydrocarbons. Other materials adsorbed onto the carbon may also be released during combustion.
Fire fighting instruction: Fire-fighters should wear full protective clothing including self contained breathing apparatus. Avoid direct stream at pressure on the carbon to prevent dispersal of smouldering particles which could spread the fire.
Extinguishing media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog etc.
Health hazards
Overview: May be irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. High airborne dust concentrations may pose an explosion hazard.
Skin: Prolonged or repeated contact may cause dryness or chapping of exposed area. Chronic skin exposure may discolour the hair follicle.
Eyes: Carbon particles may cause physical irritation.
Inhalation: Overexposure may cause irritation to respiratory system due to carbon deposition in the lungs and the respiratory tract.
Ingestion: Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting and constipation.
First Aid measures
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin: Wash with soap and water to avoid drying and chopping of skin.
Ingestion: Use of this product for medicinal purposes should be conducted only by qualified medical personnel. Ifswallowed get immediate medical attention or advice.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Apply resuscitation if victim is not breathing. Seek medical attention if irritation
persists.

Our materials offer the following advantages over many other types of carbon:

High hardness levels with low dust levels. This improves material handling characteristics, which is especially significant in areas where carbon fines are not acceptable.
High surface area (up to 1400 m2/g). This ensures a long life and great adsorption capability.
Excellent retentivity, limiting undesired desorption of adsorbed species.
Significant number of micropores (< 20 Angstroms). This is important for removing low-molecular-weight organics as well as trace quantities of contaminants.
Lower ash content and fewer contaminants.
Coconut shell activated carbons are suited for both gas-phase and liquid-phase applications requiring trace concentration purification. We create activated carbon for a variety of residential and industrial purposes, including water and liquid applications.
