What is Activated Carbon?
Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a super-absorbent material made to capture and remove impurities from air, water, and industrial processes. Made from carbon-rich sources like coconut shells, wood, and coal-based materials, it features a large surface area filled with micro-pores. Activated carbon effectively captures contaminants, making it an essential solution for diverse purification needs.

Types of Activated Carbon
There are several different types of activated carbon, each with its own unique properties and applications. 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, addressing needs such as sulfur removal and mercury guard beds.
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
GAC is versatile, with granules suitable for water and air purification, balancing high adsorption capacity and flow rate. It effectively removes diverse contaminants like organic compounds, chlorine, and heavy metals. Flexible in system design, GAC suits packed beds, columns, and filters for efficient operation.
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
PAC has a high surface contact area and is easy to use in dosing control. It is well-suited for various liquid-phase applications, including food and water treatment. Its effectiveness extends to the removal of organic contaminants, undesired color, odors, and enhancement of taste compounds.
Activated Carbon Specifications
Activated carbon’s performance relies on its specifications like surface area, pore structure, and chemical composition. These ensure it meets specific needs in various applications like water purification and environmental remediation. More Info >>
