Recovery

• We offer a wide lineup ranging from high-purity, high-hardness pelletized activated carbon to activated carbon fiber. Our products efficiently recover solvents such as acetone, cyclohexanone, and methylene chloride used in adsorption–desorption cycles.
• With our expertise in pore-size control for activated carbon fibers suitable for solvent adsorption and desorption, we have numerous achievements in solvent recovery equipment applications both in Japan and overseas.

• We offer products made from carefully selected coconut shells with high adsorption performance and durability, supported by a strong track record.

Organic solvents used in manufacturing and cleaning processes are highly volatile and may pose environmental and cost challenges. Kuraray’s activated carbon and activated carbon fibers efficiently adsorb VOCs such as toluene, acetone, and methylene chloride, allowing reuse through repeated adsorption and desorption cycles.

In processes where gold is extracted from crushed ore using a sodium cyanide solution and then adsorbed onto activated carbon, high adsorption performance and durability are essential. Kuraray’s activated carbon meets these requirements.
