ACTIVATED CARBON
Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a form of carbon that has been processed to create a highly porous structure with a large surface area. This property makes it highly effective for adsorption, which is the process of trapping particles, chemicals, or contaminants on its surface.
Activation methods
Steam Activation – Steam activation is carried out using steam at temperatures of between 800°C and 1000°C. At these temperatures an instant Water-Gas reaction occurs, gasifying the carbonized material. Air is then introduced to burn out the gasses, without burning the carbon. This process produces a graded, screened and de-dusted form of activated carbon. Carbon activated by steam generally has a fine pore structure, ideal for adsorbing both liquid phase and vapor phase compounds.
Chemical Activation – With chemical activation the carbon is first filled with a powerful dehydrating agent, typically a paste form of phosphoric acid (P2O5) or zinc chloride (ZnCl2). The paste is heated to temperatures between 500°C and 800°C to activate the carbon. Chemical activation produces activated carbon with a very open pore structure, making it more suitable for adsorbing large molecules.

Pharma & Medical
The growth of the pharmaceutical industry and development of new products is at an unprecedented high. With these new developments come fresh challenges and stringent regulations. Activated carbon is an effective way to tackle problems during manufacturing and meet these regulations. With extensive knowledge of the challenges faced by pharmaceutical companies, Activact Carbon not only supplies carbon, but can also advise on the most suitable products for each client’s needs.
As well as providing carbon for use in the manufacturing of products, we also provide carbon to be used as an ingredient in human and veterinary medicines.
Powdered Activated Carbon
Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is made from high-quality wood chip or coal, and is processed through a series of production processes. Powder activated carbon has the advantages of fast filtration speed, good adsorption performance, strong decolorization and deodorization ability, economical and durable, etc. PAC can be widely used in water treatment, sugar decolorization, wine, glycerin decolorization and other industries, wastewater purification, power plants, electroplating, etc.

Activated carbon for Organic Compound
the mining industry, flotation is a crucial process for mineral separation. However, the organic compounds used in flotation agents can pose significant environmental and health risks if not properly managed. This blog explores the use of activated carbon for removing these organic compounds, ensuring safer and more environmentally friendly mining operations.
Activated Carbon for DMS Purification
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is a harmful gas with a strong pungent odor, prevalent in petrochemical, chemical, and energy industries. The emission of DMS not only pollutes the environment but also poses significant threats to human health. As such, effective DMS removal has become a critical environmental protection issue. This blog explores DMS removal methods, with a special focus on the role of activated carbon in this process.
