Activated carbon Description

Activated carbon is a very mature technology that is designed to help remove taste and odor from water through adsorption of the compounds that cause problems. There are a variety of different types of carbon that are used industry-wide. They include wood, lignite, coal, and coconut as the most common sources for activated carbon. Activated Carbon is a porous material and has large surface area and strong absorbility. It can be used for desulfurization and decolourization. It can also be used in selective elimination of some chemical impurities in liquid or gas phase in the chemical, oil and gas, metallurgical, water treatment and environmental protection industries as well as the daily life.
