Charcoal animal granular

Charcoal animal granular (animal charcoal in granular form) is a porous, black, grainy adsorbent material produced by charring animal bones or other animal tissue and then crushing/sizing it into small granules rather than powder.​

Composition and form

The granules consist mainly of carbon with significant calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate content originating from bone, giving them a hard, durable structure and a high internal surface area.​

Being granular (typically a few millimetres in size) makes the material free‑flowing, easy to handle in filters or feed mixes, and less dusty than powdered grades.​

Main uses

Animal granular charcoal (bone char) is widely used as an adsorbent for decolorising and purifying liquids such as sugar solutions and other process streams, and as a filtration medium in water treatment.​

Granular charcoal of animal or vegetal origin is also formulated as an animal feed supplement, where it is added in small amounts to help bind intestinal toxins and gases, support digestion, and reduce odours in species such as horses, cattle, dogs, cats, and poultry.​
