Activated Carbon

Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a highly porous form of carbon with a large surface area, making it extremely effective for adsorption and purification processes.

  • Activated carbon is used in the refining process to remove impurities and color from edible oils, ensuring they meet quality standards.
  • In pharmaceuticals, activated carbon is utilized for purification, decolorization, and removal of impurities from drugs and other pharmaceutical products. It’s also used in gas masks and air purifiers to filter out toxins.
  • Activated carbon is used in pollution control to adsorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and other pollutants from air and water, thus mitigating environmental pollution.
  • In the chemicals industry, activated carbon finds applications in purification processes, catalyst support, and as an adsorbent for the removal of impurities from chemical products.
