PAC has a fine particle size, offering a large surface area for fast and efficient adsorption. It is ideal for liquid phase applications such as food and water treatment. Additionally, it effectively removes organic contaminants, unwanted colors, and odors, while also enhancing taste quality in various processes.
Activated Carbon
What is Activated Carbon?
Activated Carbon is an adsorption media, its function is to adsorb organic molecules within its micro pores for liquids and gases purification It is activated by thermal or chemical processes to enhance its adsorption capacity (to make pores form). However, It is made from natural carbon rich sources like coconut shells, coal, and wood, making it a versatile and powerful adsorbent.
During production, activated carbon(AC) develops thousands of tiny pores, which means it has a much larger surface area for trapping and removing unwanted substances. As a result, it is widely used in water purification, air filtration, and industrial cleaning processes.

Types of Activated Carbon
There are several types of AC, each with unique properties and applications. Thus, selecting the right type is crucial for optimal results. Here are some of the most common types:
-
Pellets/Extruded Activated Carbon
Pellets offer a low pressure drop, high mechanical strength, and uniform structure, making them excellent for VOC removal, pollution control, and environmental applications. Additionally, they serve as a base adsorbent for impregnated activated carbon, which is necessary for addressing needs such as sulfur removal and mercury guard beds.
-
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
GAC is versatile, with granules suitable for both water and air purification, balancing high adsorption capacity and flow rate. Notably, It effectively removes diverse contaminants like organic compounds, chlorine, and heavy metals. Furthermore, being flexible in system design, GAC suits packed beds, columns, and filters for efficient operation.
-
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)

Why Choose Medaad AC
Discover the superior advantages of Medaad Activated Carbon, your trusted partner for premium adsorption solutions. Our Catalytic carbon stand out in the market with years of expertise, offering unmatched benefits across diverse industries.
Is It Adsorbent or Absorbent?
Activated carbon is an adsorbent, not an absorbent. That’s a key distinction in how it works to purify air, gas, and liquid streams.
While absorption means taking in substances throughout the entire volume (like a sponge soaking up water), adsorption refers to the process where molecules stick only to the surface of a material.
Activated carbon has a highly porous surface structure. These microscopic pores trap unwanted contaminants, such as organic molecules, odors, or color through a surface based process called adsorption.
Activated Carbon Regeneration
