KTA19 is a high-grade bituminous coal-based granular activated carbon for water and gas treatment.
What Is KTA19 Activated Carbon?
KTA19 refers to a uniform-sized granular activated carbon produced from high-quality bituminous coal, featuring a developed porous structure and high adsorption capacity for industrial purification applications. In practice, KTA19 is designed to balance high adsorption efficiency and long service life for large-scale continuous operation systems.
Q: What raw materials are used to make KTA19?
A: Top-grade KTA19 uses low-ash bituminous coal as the core raw material, unlike low-quality alternatives that use mixed coal or waste wood. From our production experience at Jining Yikang, raw material quality directly determines 70% of the final KTA19 performance, so we source all raw materials from certified domestic coal mines in northern China.
Q: What is the standard particle size of KTA19?
A: The standard particle size of KTA19 is 8×30 mesh, which fits most common water filter tank designs. We can also produce custom sizes ranging from 4×10 mesh to 12×40 mesh for specific application requirements per customer requests.
Top Common Applications of KTA19
KTA19 is a versatile activated carbon product used across multiple industrial and municipal sectors. Below are the most common use cases confirmed by industry data.
Q: Which industries use KTA19 most frequently?
The largest application of KTA19 is municipal drinking water purification, followed by industrial wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, and off-gas purification. Actual testing from our 2026 customer cases shows KTA19 removes 99% of residual chlorine and 95% of common organic contaminants from raw water.
Q: Can KTA19 be used for air/gas treatment?
Yes, KTA19's high hardness and large surface area make it suitable for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor from industrial off-gas streams. It is often used in solvent recovery systems and air purification units for manufacturing facilities.
How To Select High-Quality KTA19 For Your Project
Follow these verified steps to choose the right KTA19 to match your project requirements:
- Confirm your target contaminant and required adsorption efficiency to determine the minimum iodine number for KTA19
- Match KTA19 particle size to your filter tank design to avoid excessive pressure drop or poor flow distribution
- Request a free product sample from your supplier to conduct on-site performance testing before placing a bulk order
- Compare total life-cycle cost instead of only upfront unit price to get the best long-term value
To help you compare quality levels, below is a comparison of premium KTA19 from Jining Yikang vs standard KTA19 from average suppliers:
| Comparison Metric | Jining Yikang Premium KTA19 | Industry Standard KTA19 |
|---|---|---|
| Iodine Number (mg/g) | 1000-1050 | 900-950 |
| Ash Content (%) | ≤8 | ≤12 |
| Hardness (%) | ≥95 | ≥90 |
| Average Service Life (water treatment) | 18-24 months | 12-18 months |
