A Journey Inside
Hazelnut Shell
Activated Carbon

The architecture of a hazelnut shell activated carbon: from millimeter to nanometer, every pore has a purpose.

Scroll Down — Let's Descend Into The Granule Together.

01 · Macro> 50 nm

Transport Channels

The widest pores at the granule surface. Water or gas carries pollutants inward through them — gateways to the adsorption sites deep within.

Role Rapid access · flow
02 · Meso2 – 50 nm

Distribution Network

Mid-scale voids branching through the pore walls. Large molecules like methylene blue are captured here — the indicator of mesopore capacity.

Role Distribution · large molecules
03 · Micro< 2 nm

The Heart Of Adsorption

Sub-nanometer voids in the carbon matrix. Small molecules like iodine are caught by van der Waals forces; this is what the iodine number measures.

Role Capture · purification
Typical values
Iodine adsorption micro · <2 nm 1000 mg/g
Methylene blue meso · 2–50 nm >250 mg/g
Ash 2–3%
Moisture 3–5%
