Activated carbon applications

Numerous activated carbon products of different selected grades and base materials like bituminous coal and coconut are available in the market. There are three main physical carbon types such as granular, powder and extruded (pellet). Each type of activated carbon product has a different surface area, pore size distribution, size and shape and they can have properties tailored to the application.
• Air Treatment – Control of potentially harmful or environmentally damaging substances to the atmosphere.
• trapping impurities - Trapping carbon-based impurities ("organic" chemicals), as well as things like chlorine
• Drinking Water Treatment – Purification of water for human consumption at treatment works or in home filters.
• Effluent Water Treatment - Control of potentially harmful or environmentally damaging substances to water courses.
• Food and Beverage – Essential processing stage in the production of a variety of food products. • Industrial Processes – Purification and/or catalysis stage for a huge range of industrial applications.
• Medical – Activated Charcoal Cloth used in wound dressings, odour control filters and masks, and for ingested poison treatment.
• Personal and Collective Protection – Carbon for military and industrial respirators and building containment filters.
