Activated Carbon
What is Activated Carbon?
Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a super-absorbent material that removes impurities from water, air, and industrial processes. It has tiny pores and a big surface that traps and filters unwanted substances, making it great for purification tasks.

1. Introduction
Activated Carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a highly porous material derived from carbon-rich sources such as coconut shells, wood, or coal. It undergoes an activation process, which enhances its adsorption properties by creating an extensive network of internal pores and a large surface area. It is widely used in water treatment, air purification, and various industrial applications where adsorption and purification are required.
We supply a wide range of Activated Carbon products at affordable prices that deliver exceptional adsorption performance across various industries.

3. Types of AC
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is a highly porous form of AC available in granular form. Its large particle size characterizes it, providing excellent flow rates and low-pressure drops during adsorption. GAC is commonly used in applications that require a balance between adsorption capacity and hydraulic performance. More Info >>
Powder Activated Carbon is finely ground AC with particle sizes typically ranging from less than 1 micron to several hundred microns. Powder AC offers high adsorption efficiency due to its small particle size, providing a large surface area for adsorption. More Info >>
Extrudate or Pellets Activated Carbon is manufactured by compressing Activated Carbon powder into cylindrical pellets or extruded shapes. This form offers advantages in specific applications requiring controlled bed density and low dust generation. More Info >>
