Powder Activated Carbon
What is Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)?
Powdered Activated Carbon PAC is a finely ground, highly porous form of activated carbon designed for efficient adsorption of impurities in liquids and gases. With particle sizes typically ranging from less than 1 micron up to a few hundred microns, PAC offers an exceptionally large surface area & which is a key factor in its strong adsorption capacity.
Powder Activated Carbon is manufactured from carbon rich raw materials such as coal, coconut shell, or wood. Each material contributes distinct characteristics to the final product, allowing PAC to be tailored for a wide range of applications, including water treatment, food processing, pharmaceutical purification, and air filtration.
How Does Powder Activated Carbon Work?
PAC functions through the process of adsorption. Contaminants in liquids or gases adhere to the surface of the carbon particles as they pass through. Due to its fine particle size, PAC offers a large surface area, which allows for rapid adsorption and heightened reactivity. As a result, PAC effectively captures impurities, including colorants, odors, and various organic compounds, leading to cleaner water or air.
Powdered Activated Carbon Specifications
Activated carbon Powder specifications define optimal performance and application suitability. However, These specifications cover physical, chemical, and adsorptive properties of PAC.
| Form / Shape | Size / Grade | Density | Iodine Number | Ash Content | Moisture As Packed | |
| Powder Activated Carbon (PAC) | Fine Powder |
< 0.18 mm |
350 – 550 Kg/m³ |
800 – 1500 mg/g | 0.5 – 10 wt% | 0.5 – 8 wt% |
Key Advantages:
- Rapid Adsorption Kinetics: It is fine particles allow for rapid contaminant adsorption due to the increased surface area available for contact.
- Enhanced Reactivity: The small particle size enhances the reactivity of Powder AC, making it effective in applications that require fast adsorption, such as wastewater treatment and the removal of trace contaminants.
- Wide Range of Applications: It is widely used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, gas treatment, water purification, catalyst support, and decolorization processes in the food and beverage industry.
