High-Performance Anthracite for Industrial Use

Anthracite is a hard, high-carbon variety of mineral coal known for its high purity, mechanical strength, and calorific value. With carbon content ranging from 92.1% to 98%, it burns cleanly with a short, blue, smokeless flame and emits no tarry vapors below ignition point.

Western Carbon & Chemicals anthracite is used in both power generation and metallurgical applications, especially in its high and ultra-high grade forms. It is also widely used as a durable filtration medium in industrial and municipal water treatment systems. Its dense structure makes it ideal for removing suspended solids and for use in multi-media filtration setups, where it enhances system performance and extends operational life. With excellent longevity and environmental safety, anthracite is a dependable solution for a variety of demanding industrial processes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is anthracite used for?
Anthracite is primarily used in water treatment processes as a filtration medium due to its high density, hardness, and ability to remove suspended solids from water.
How is anthracite different from other filtration media?
Anthracite has a higher carbon content and harder structure compared to other media, providing longer-lasting performance and more efficient filtration.
Can anthracite be used in combination with other filtration materials?
Yes, anthracite is often used in multi-media filtration systems alongside other materials like sand or gravel for improved filtration performance.
Is anthracite environmentally friendly?
Yes, anthracite is a natural filtration material and is often considered environmentally friendly because it can be recycled and reused in many applications.
How long does anthracite last in a filtration system?
The lifespan of anthracite depends on the application, but it typically lasts longer than other media, especially in high-flow or heavy-duty filtration systems.
