ABC-BioPhosphate is a Bone Char is a unique from of activated carbon, made of food grade animal bone meal and it’s ability to remove many PTE (Potential Toxic Elements ) and macromolecular organic contaminants is far greater than coal or coconut shell based activated carbon.
Animal bone char is an effective adsorbent for water filtration, as it ability to remove many metals and macromolecular organic contaminants is far greater than activated carbon. Most of these metals are neurotoxins and pose significant hazards to human health.

The benefits of the unique and novel ABC-BioPhosphate adsorbent process/products and the difference versus Activated Carbon materials
| Feature/Capability | ABC-BioPhosphate (green adsorbent) | Conventional Activated Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing Features | ||
| Energy dependence | Produced through an energy-independent 3R process, which can even generate surplus energy. This makes production climate-friendly and cost-efficient. | Requires significant fossil energy input, increasing operational costs and CO₂ emissions. |
| Processing Emission | Zero-emission thermal process, no chemical inputs, no harmful waste. Supports a carbon-negative footprint. | Generates complex emissions and secondary pollutants, often contributing to climate and environmental impacts. |
| Activation method | Thermal activation at >850 °C, entirely chemical-free. Produces a stable macroporous mineral–carbon matrix with high adsorption efficiency. | Chemical or steam activation, often with acids or oxidizers. This can introduce impurities, increase waste streams, and raise environmental and operational risks. |
| Regeneration | Can be regenerated 4–5 times with minimal performance loss. Regeneration is chemical-free, safe, and cost-effective. After adsorbent use, material can be repurposed as a biofertilizer, supporting a circular economy. | Typically 2–5 regeneration cycles. Often requires chemical regeneration, which is costly, less sustainable, and may degrade the material. |
| Sustainability & Environmental Impact | Produced from renewable, upcycled materials (food-grade animal bone meal) via a zero-emission, chemical-free 3R process; supports circular economy and can be reused or repurposed as biofertilizer. Use are carbon-negative and aligned with circular economy principles. | Produced mainly from non-renewable coal or coconut shells, high energy input, limited reuse, generates secondary waste. Can be carbon-neutral to carbon-positive depending on raw material source. Fossil-based feedstocks dominate. |
| Product Features | ||
| Material origin | 100% bio-based, derived from renewable and upcycled biomass (food-grade animal bone meal). | Predominantly fossil-based (coal, lignite) with minor renewable contributions (coconut shell, wood). |
| Material composition | ~92% calcium phosphate mineral + 8% carbon. Mineral content adds extra value for reuse in agriculture. | 100% carbon-based, no added mineral benefits after use. |
| Structure | Fully macroporous (50 µm – 63,000 µm). Optimized for capturing large molecules, heavy metals, radionuclides, and complex contaminants. | Primarily micro- and mesoporous (1–50 µm). Effective for small organic molecules but limited for larger or inorganic contaminants. |
| Primary Function | Specialized adsorbent for removal of PTEs (Potentially Toxic Elements), radionuclides, and macromolecular organic pollutants. | Conventional adsorbent for organic compounds, odour, and taste control. Most effective for micro-pollutants. |
| Target Pollutants | Herbicides, pesticides, PTEs (Cd, Pb, Fe, Mn, Hg, Zn, Cu, Ni, Al), arsenic, fluoride, chlorine, and a wide range of radionuclides (uranium, radium). | Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorine, small organic pollutants. |
| Mineral Retention | Preserves beneficial salts and minerals in water while removing contaminants. | Can remove essential minerals alongside contaminants, lowering water quality. |
| Special Applications | Industrial wastewater, municipal water, sugar refining, pharmaceuticals, aquaculture, defence, nuclear effluents. | Air purification, odour and taste improvement, gas phase adsorption. |
| Best Use Cases | Ideal for PTEs, radionuclides, nutrient recovery, and sustainable water treatment with bio-based circularity. | Best suited for organic contaminant removal, odour, and taste improvements in air and liquid purification. |
| Cost-Effectiveness Over Time | Thanks to its multiple regeneration cycles (4–5 times), long operational lifespan, and ability to be repurposed as a biofertilizer at the end of use, ABC-BioPhosphate significantly reduces replacement frequency and waste disposal costs. Its zero-emission, energy-independent production also helps avoid hidden environmental compliance costs, making it a more sustainable and cost-efficient solution across its full lifecycle. | While the initial purchase cost may be lower, activated carbon typically has shorter regeneration cycles and in many cases is disposed of after a single use. Regeneration, when possible, is energy-intensive and expensive, often offsetting the initial savings. End-of-life disposal generates additional handling costs and provides no added value, resulting in a higher total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to ABC-BioPhosphate. |
In summary:
ABC-BioPhosphate green adsorbents and conventional activated carbons represent two complementary yet distinct purification technologies.
Activated carbon is highly effective for capturing organic compounds, colorants, and volatile pollutants.
ABC-BioPhosphate, on the other hand, is a bio-based green adsorbent designed to target inorganic contaminants such as heavy metals, radionuclides, fluoride, and excess nutrients, while also maintaining high efficiency in complex water and liquid treatment scenarios.
Together, these technologies provide a comprehensive solution for industries ranging from water purification and food processing to environmental remediation and defence applications. They can be applied independently or combined in multi-stage treatment systems, maximizing contaminant removal across a wide spectrum.
By choosing the right adsorbent for the right application, operators gain superior purification performance, long-term cost savings, and stronger environmental compliance, all while advancing sustainability goals.
