Activated Carbon Food Grade
Adsorbent Material For Physical Separation Of Impurities
About About Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal is a form of non-graphite carbon that has been processed to enhance its microcrystalline internal porosity. Activated charcoal is a popular choice of adsorbent material for physical separation of impurities thanks to its high surface area and reactivity. It can effectively remove a wide range of pollutants including pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, phenols, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is possible to derive activated carbon from any material containing a high concentration of carbon, including wood, charcoal, bone, or nut shells. The two basic processes for preparation are chemical or physical/gas activation. The processing method is usually dependent upon the starting material and the desired end product - granular or powdered form.
Recent environmental trends have further increased demand for this material. The diverse applications of activated charcoal include: air purification, gasoline vapor emission control in automobiles, cigarette filtration, and drinking water purification.
