Anthracite coal

Anthracite coal is a high quality type of coal, characterized by its high carbon content and low amount of impurities.
This type of coal is highly valued for its excellent adsorbent properties and is widely used in water and effluent treatment.

Anthracite is particularly effective at removing suspended particles, sediments and organic contaminants, significantly improving the quality of the treated water.

How does anthracite coal work in water treatment?

Anthracite coal works as a filter medium in water and effluent treatment systems. Its porous structure allows it to have a high adsorption capacity, capturing and retaining contaminants as the water passes through it. This process is highly efficient at removing suspended solids, turbidity, chlorine, organic compounds and heavy metals.

Anthracite coal applications

Drinking water treatment

Anthracite coal is widely used in drinking water treatment systems to remove impurities and improve the quality of water intended for human consumption. Its effective filtration capacity guarantees clean and safe water.

Treatment of industrial effluents

Essential for purifying industrial effluents, helping to remove pollutants and reduce the organic load before disposal or reuse. Anthracite coal is used in tertiary treatment processes to ensure that the treated water meets environmental standards.

Filtration systems in industries

Used in a variety of industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical, where water quality is crucial to production processes and end products.
