Product Features

Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a highly porous material used as an adsorbent to remove contaminants and impurities from liquids and gases across various industries.

Activated carbon comes in several forms:

Powdered activated carbon (PAC): Used in liquid treatments.

Granular activated carbon (GAC): Used in water filtration systems.

Pelletized/Extruded activated carbon: Used in air and gas applications.

Its main function is adsorption, where organic molecules attach to the carbon’s internal surface.

Product Applications

Activated carbon’s high surface area and porous structure give it a wide range of uses:

Water Purification: It is used in water treatment and filters to remove chlorine, pesticides, organic compounds, and substances causing bad tastes and odors.

Air and Gas Purification: It is used in air filtration systems and industrial applications to remove harmful gases, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Medical Use: Medical-grade activated carbon treats certain poisonings and drug overdoses by binding to toxins in the stomach.

Food and Beverage Industry: It is used to purify products like sugar, oils, and alcoholic beverages by removing unwanted colors and flavors.

Industrial Processes: Applications include gold recovery, solvent recovery, wastewater treatment, and mercury scrubbing.

Personal Care Products: It is an ingredient in products like facial masks and soaps for its ability to absorb impurities, though scientific evidence for some uses like teeth whitening is limited.
