PROPERTIES OF ACTIVATED CARBONWhen selecting an activated carbon for a particular application, a variety of characteristics should be considered:Pore StructureThe pore structure of activated carbon varies and is largely a result of the source material and the method of production. The pore structure

Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. Activated is sometimes substituted with active.Due to its high degree of microporosity, just one gram of acti

Activated Carbon is made from organic material such as coconut, coal, or wood and is formed by heating the material in the absence of air. Carbon has been used throughout history as an adsorbent for contaminants and is considered the most powerful adsorbent known to man. Its use dates back to 2000 B
