Powder Activated Carbon
What is Powder Activated Carbon (PAC)?
Powder Activated Carbon (PAC) is a highly porous form of activated carbon with a fine particle size, typically less than 1 micron up to several hundred microns. This fine granularity results in an extensive surface area, enhancing its ability to adsorb contaminants effectively. PAC is produced from high-quality carbon-rich materials such as coal, coconut shells, or specific types of wood, each imparting unique properties suited for various purification needs.
How Does Powder Activated Carbon Work?
PAC operates on the principle of adsorption, where contaminants in liquids or gases adhere to the surface of the carbon particles as they pass through. The fine particle size of PAC provides a large surface area, allowing for rapid adsorption kinetics and enhanced reactivity. This makes PAC exceptionally effective in trapping impurities, including colorants, odors, and various organic compounds, leading to purified water or air streams.
Powdered Activated Carbon Specifications
Activated carbon specifications ensure optimal performance and suitability for specific applications. These specifications outline various characteristics of powder-activated carbon, including physical, chemical, and adsorptive properties.
| 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.
