Carbon – Activated carbon for metal adsorption MAXSORB HF-Series – Kansai Coke and Chemicals Company Limited


This activated carbon has a much higher amount of acidic surface functional groups than conventional activated carbon by utilizing our know-how and technology of alkaline activation. It demonstrates high performance not only for metals, but also for chlorine, ammonia, chloramine removal, etc.

Description

Kansai Coke and Chemicals Company, Limited provides activated carbon with high specific surface area and high acidic functional group content. In 1992, we were the first company in the world to succeed in mass production of alkali activated carbon, and since then we have been manufacturing and selling MaxSorb activated carbon with high specific surface area for over 30 years.
We have now added a new lineup of activated carbon that not only has a high specific surface area but also contains a higher amount of acidic functional groups than conventional activated carbon. It demonstrates high performance in the fields of metal, chlorine, ammonia, and chloramine removal.

Innovating for Industry and Society

Founded in 1956 as a joint venture between Mitsubishi Chemical Industries, Kobe Steel, and Amagasaki Steel, Kansai Coke and Chemicals Company, Limited has been a cornerstone in supporting Japan’s steel industry. We specialize in the production of high-quality coke for steel-making, fuel gas, and a variety of chemical products. While these products are not used directly by consumers, they serve as the essential raw materials behind countless everyday goods, contributing to people’s daily lives.

OUR MISSION

Our management philosophy revolves around three core principles: “Treat people as assets, treat nature as an asset, and create new value.” We aim to foster a supportive work environment, protect the natural resources of the Earth, and create innovative products that meet the demands of a changing world. Our current focus includes not only coke and chemical products but also new ventures in carbon and energy chemistry, such as manufacturing electrode materials for electric double-layer capacitors, precision cleaning equipment for semiconductors and solar cells, and conducting environmental and material analyses, including VOC assessments.

CORE BUSINESS

  • Coke Making: Using advanced, environmentally friendly technologies, we produce high-quality coke for steel-making, optimizing resource use and minimizing environmental impact. Our processes include dust control, water purification, and energy recycling systems to ensure sustainable operations.
  • Gas Refining: Our expertise in gas refining allows us to recover valuable by-products, including coal tar, liquid ammonia, crude light oil, and sulfuric acid. These products are critical for industries such as environmental conservation, plastics manufacturing, and energy storage.

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

Leveraging our deep knowledge of carbon and energy chemistry, Kansai Coke and Chemicals is committed to driving innovation. We are actively engaged in research and development to improve product quality, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce environmental impact. Our capabilities extend to high-tech sectors, including electrode materials for energy storage devices, and precision cleaning technologies for semiconductors and solar cell manufacturing.

COMMITMENT TO SOCIETY
