Activated carbon
Activated carbon is a highly porous material with a large internal surface area. It is produced by subjecting carbon-rich sources, such as coal, wood, or coconut shells, to a process called activation. Activated carbon can appear as a black, granular substance, a powder, or in other forms like pellets, cloth, or honeycomb structures. Its physical properties, such as pore size distribution, surface area, and density, can vary depending on the manufacturing process and intended application.

APPLICATION & USAGE
- Activated carbon is commonly used in water treatment plants and filters to remove impurities, organic contaminants, chemicals, and odors. It can also be used in air filters and masks to trap pollutants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and odorous substances.
- It can help mitigate the effects of chemical spills, remove heavy metals, and eliminate organic contaminants.
- It finds applications in various industrial processes, such as gas purification, solvent recovery, and decolorization.
- It is used in medical and pharmaceutical applications for its ability to adsorb toxins, drugs, and poisons. It may be used in emergency treatments for drug overdoses or poisoning cases.
