Activated Carbon
 
 
 
NORIT
Is one of the world’s most important manufacturers and suppliers of activated carbon in the world, with factories in Holland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
Its 80 years of experience manufacturing carbon allows NORIT to provide over 150 different types of activated carbon, meeting the special needs of each client.

The following are just a few applications described briefly.

 
Cane Sugar refining
Norit activated carbons are used for decolourisation of cane sugar syrups before crystallization of refined white granulated sugar. Norit carbons are dedicated to absorb plant pigments from the sugar cane and the colours created during processing (e.g. melanoidins and caramels). Activated carbon has the capability to remove non- colourant impurities as well along with the colour such as amino acids and polysaccharides.
 
Alcoholic beverages
Alcohol, beer, wine, whisky, rum, vodka, etc. are purified with norit activated carbons to decolourise, prevent turbidity during ageing or to remove unwanted congeners such as fusel oils and aldehydes that influence sensory character (taste/odour).
 
Fruit juices

Norit carbons are used for the purification of fruit juices such as apple juice, orange juice and grape juice. The main task for the activated carbon is to remove pink and brown coloured polyphenols and dark brown coloured melanoidins. Dedicated carbons can also be used to remove undesirable taste compounds, colour precursors created during fruit juices processing, traces of pesticides and fungicide residues such as mycotoxin Patulin.
