Description

Bone Charcoal CAS NO 8027-91-6 is a highly porous, granular carbonaceous material produced by the controlled carbonization of animal bones. This product is valued for its unique combination of adsorptive capacity and mineral content, making it a versatile purification and decolorization agent. It serves as a critical material for industries requiring high-purity filtration, including sugar refining, water treatment, and the production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.

Application

• Sugar & Sweetener Refining: Primary use as a decolorizing and de-ashing agent to produce clear, high-purity white sugar and syrups.
• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Effective adsorbent for removing organic contaminants, heavy metals (e.g., lead, arsenic), fluoride, and odors from industrial and drinking water.
• Pharmaceutical Purification: Used in the purification processes of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates to remove colored impurities and catalysts.
• Edible Oil & Fat Processing: Employed for bleaching and deodorizing vegetable oils and animal fats to improve color, flavor, and stability.
• Chemical Synthesis & Catalysis: Acts as a catalyst or catalyst support in various organic reactions and as a purification medium for solvents and chemical intermediates.
• Analytical Chemistry: Used in chromatography and sample preparation for the adsorption of specific interfering substances.

Quality Control

Our Bone Charcoal is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through parameters such as decolorizing power, ash content, moisture, particle size distribution, and adsorption capacity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your application requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. The material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect performance.
