How to distinguish between anthracite and activated carbon
By Zhao from Onlyzone,a manufacturer of water treatment bio ceramic ball filter media in China.
First, put it in the water to see the bubbles. The more bubbles, it may be activated carbon. If there are few or no bubbles, it is anthracite, because activated carbon has gaps and adsorption.
The second method, anthracite is a colored object, and has a higher color fading rate than activated carbon. Put it in your hand and look at the decolorization. The bigger the color is anthracite, and the less color is activated carbon, because activated carbon with coal will also fade, but it is not so obvious compared to anthracite. If it is coconut shell, the shell activated carbon will basically not fade, even if it fades slightly, it can be clearly seen by comparing with anthracite.
