Chemically Activated Carbon

What is Activated Carbon Powder?

Activated Carbon Powder is a highly porous substance created from carbon-rich materials such as wood, coconut shells, and rice husks. Through a specialized activation process, this powder develops a vast network of microscopic pores, resulting in an exceptionally high surface area.

How Does It Work?

The unique structure of Activated Carbon Powder allows it to attract and hold molecules from surrounding gases and liquids. The effectiveness of this adsorption process depends on the molecular structure of the substances being treated. This makes Activated Carbon an effective solution for removing a wide range of contaminants.

Applications and Benefits

Activated Carbon Powder is widely used for purification and decolorization in various industries. It can absorb between 10% to 90% of its own weight in impurities from aqueous solutions. Typically, the powder is introduced into an agitated vessel with the process liquor and then filtered out after the required contact time.
