What is Activated Carbon



What is Activated Carbon?

Activated Carbon is a form of carbon that is activated by a carefully controlled oxidation process to develop a porous carbon structure. The imperfect structure results in a high degree of porosity and over a broad range of pore sizes, from visible cracks and crevices to gaps and voids of molecular dimensions.

The specified structure of carbon gives it a very large surface area which allows the carbon to adsorb a wide range of compounds. Activated carbon has the highest volume of adsorbing porosity of any material available to mankind.

Types of Activated Carbon

According to different materials, activated carbon can be divided into these types

specializes in Wood based activated carbon

Wood based activated carbon

Wood activated carbon is made of high-quality wood and has a powder shape. It is produced by high-temperature carbonization, activation and various processes. It is suitable for pharmaceutical, petrochemical, sugar, beverage and alcohol purification industries. The main function is for decolorization, refining, purification and sewage treatment.
