Activated Carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a highly versatile and efficient adsorbent material renowned for its exceptional porosity and large surface area. Activated carbon works through a process called adsorption, where molecules of gas, liquid, or dissolved solids adhere to its surface.
High Efficiency in Adsorption
Due to its high degree of micro-porosity, just one gram of activated carbon can have a surface area in excess of 500 m², providing a vast adsorption area within a small volume. The effectiveness of activated carbon depends on the porosity and its surface area, the nature of the substances to be removed, and the conditions of the process.
In some applications, activated carbon can be used alongside desiccants to remove odours or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while the desiccants control moisture. Our Activated Carbon is available in several forms, including granular, powdered, and extruded. Each is tailored for specific applications based on its adsorption capacity, flow dynamics, and contact time requirements.
