Activated Carbon

About Activated Carbon

Activated carbon is used to remove pollutants from air or water streams, both in the field and in industrial processes such as spill cleanup, groundwater remediation, drinking water filtration, air purification, and the capture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Activated carbon filters and activate carbon filter media are also used in odor control and reverse osmosis applications. Most activated carbon is made of bituminous coal or lignite, a low-sulfur coal with high moisture content. The material source and mode of activation determine the specific properties of active carbon. Property standards are also important to consider when selecting products from activated carbon suppliers.

Activated carbon is available in various forms. Examples include activated carbon beds and activated carbon blankets. There are two main types of activated carbon beds: fixed and fluidized. Although fixed beds are suitable for some applications, fluidized beds offer excellent gas distribution and lower resistance to gas flow. Activated carbon blankets are used to absorb fumes and odors from products such as new carpeting, cars, furniture, and homes. Activated carbon cloth and activated carbon fabric is characterized by its large adsorption volume, fast adsorption speed, heat resistance, and chemical resistance.
