High-Performance Coconut Carbon

At PuraVero,

We do not use standard coal-based charcoal. We use High-Performance Coconut Shell Activated Carbon—a renewable, hyper-porous material that acts as a magnet for toxic chemicals.Here is the science behind why coconut carbon is the gold standard for modern water filtration.

The Anatomy of High-Performance

Not all carbon is created equal. The effectiveness of a carbon filter is measured by its Surface Area and Pore Structure.

Why Coconut is Superior to Coal

Cheaper filters often use Bituminous Coal. While coal carbon is good for removing color and large particles, it lacks the precision needed for dangerous chemicals.

The Metric that Matters: Iodine Number

Scientists use the "Iodine Number" to measure a carbon's ability to trap small molecules.

01

~900 mg/g

Standard Coal Carbon

02

1,100 – 1,200+ mg/g

PuraVero Coconut Carbon
This higher number confirms superior density of micropores, ensuring better removal of dissolved chemicals.

03

What it Removes
(Adsorption Mechanism)

Coconut carbon works through Adsorption (not absorption). It acts like a chemical magnet. As water flows through the millions of micropores, contaminants are pulled out of the water and bonded to the carbon surface.

04

It is specifically engineered to target

- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
-
Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs)
- PFAS ("Forever Chemicals")
-
Chlorine and Chloramine
