Activated carbon
Activated carbon is a crude form of graphite and is commonly made from wood, coal, lignite and coconut shell. Activated carbon consists of a vast system of pores. These pores range in size from visible cracks and crevices to microscopic dimension. This structure gives the carbon its very large surface area, which allows the carbon to adsorb such a wide range of components. Activated carbon has the strongest physical adsorption forces and the highest volume of adsorbing porosity of any substance known to mankind.
Applications:
Air purifier, mask, odor removal, removal harmful gas, gas separation, water treatment, medical applications, electronics etc.

Activated carbon
Activated carbon operates through adsorption. Adsorption is a surface phenomenon and is therefore directly related to the surface area of the media.Adsorption takes place due to intramolecular attraction between the carbon surface and the substance that is being adsorbed.

A brief introduction of Activated Carbon is the carbon produced by activation of any carbonaceous material such as coconut shells, bamboo, wood chips, sawdust, coal, lignite, paddy husk, etc.
In the northern region of the country, Activated carbon is produced mainly from wood charcoal, whereas in the southern region including Kerala, it is made from charcoal of the shell of Coconut that is available aplenty.
Shell-based activated carbon is extensively used in the process of refining and bleaching of vegetable oils and chemical solutions, water purification, recovery of solvents, recovery of gold, in gas masks for protection against toxic gases, in filters for providing adequate protection against war gases/nuclear fall outs, etc.
Activated Carbon of three grades namely powder, granular and pelletised, finds hundreds of different applications. By chemical activation, predominantly powder activated carbons are made and these qualities are mostly used for wastewater treatment. Granular products and pellets used for gas purification are predominantly made by gas steam activation. The domestic market for activated carbon is fast expanding with rapid growth of several end user industries. The demand from the vegetable oil industry – the largest consumer of activated carbon, is estimated at around 30,000 tonnes. The capacity utilisation ratio is reported to be around 80% – 85%. Activated Carbon has got huge export potential due to its wide application in many industrial sectors.
About 55% of value of export is contributed by U.K, South Africa, Germany and U.S.A. Other principal buyers of Indian manufactured activated carbon include Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, Japan, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Sweden and Senegal accounting for 30% of total exports from India.
Coal-based granular activated carbon: selection of high-quality incense, Shanxi carbon and anthracite as raw material, processed from the use of advanced technology refined appearance black cylindrical particle; with appropriate pore structure and good adsorption properties, high mechanical strength, easy to repeated regeneration and low cost. It has high capacity on the absorption of organic solutes, free chlorine and harmful gases in air.
