Activated carbon is a high-surface-area adsorbent produced from coconut shell, coal, or wood through steam or chemical activation. Its microporous structure enables efficient removal of organics, chlorine, and other impurities from gases and liquids.

Activated Carbon

Used extensively in water and air purification, solvent recovery, gold extraction, and decolorization of sugar and pharmaceuticals. It also functions as a catalyst support and odor control medium.

Fine carbon dust is combustible; avoid sparks and open flames. Inhalation of dust can irritate respiratory passages. Ensure process ventilation and proper grounding of handling equipment.

Supplied in 20–25 kg polyethylene-lined kraft bags or FIBCs. Store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas; protect from moisture to maintain adsorption efficiency.
