Against the backdrop of the accelerated development of the global environmental protection industry, activated carbon is ushering in unprecedented development opportunities. With continuous policy intensification, the rigid demand for high-performance activated carbon in VOCs abatement and advanced wastewater treatment has been strongly driven across industries such as printing and dyeing, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical manufacturing, petrochemicals and coating.
Meanwhile, its application scenarios are rapidly expanding to new energy, high-end food and beverage, pharmaceutical purification and other fields, with ever-increasing requirements for the performance and quality of activated carbon.

Activated carbon is a porous adsorptive material with a well-developed pore structure and high specific surface area, which is manufactured from raw materials such as coal, wood, fruit shells and synthetic resins via high-temperature thermal treatment processes including carbonization and activation.
Classified by raw material source, activated carbon is mainly divided into four categories: coal-based, wood-based (including coconut shell, fruit shell and wood chip), pitch-based and synthetic resin-based. Among them, coal-based and wood-based activated carbon dominate the market due to their easy raw material availability, stable performance and controllable cost.

Technology Empowered, Scenario-Adapted Grinding Solutions
SBM has an in-depth insight into the raw material characteristics and process requirements of different types of activated carbon, optimizes the grinding process and equipment configuration in a targeted manner, and creates a full-process solution that can be rapidly implemented and covers all production scenarios. Through precise process design, rational equipment selection and an intelligent control system, it fully achieves the efficient, stable and green production of activated carbon powder.
Preparation Process of Coal-Based Activated Carbon
The preparation process of coal-based activated carbon includes raw material pretreatment, batching, carbonization, activation, post-treatment and optional modification treatment.
With scenario adaptation, cost reduction & efficiency improvement, and green compliance as its core principles, SBM relies on two core grinding machine series — LM and MTW, and leverages nearly 40 years of global project experience to deeply cultivate application scenarios in the activated carbon industry. Through customized solutions for the LM and MTW series grinding machines, it provides stable and reliable grinding equipment support for the industry.
