Activated carbon
¥230.00
Product Name: Activated Carbon
Chemical Formula: C (amorphous)
Key Features: Highly porous structure, exceptionally large surface area (500–1500+ m²/g), strong adsorption capacity, available in powder (PAC) or granular (GAC) form, chemically stable, can be customised for specific applications.
Main Applications by Industry:
Water Treatment: For removal of organic contaminants, chlorine, taste and odour compounds (e.g. geosmin, MIB), pesticides, and trace pollutants in drinking water and wastewater.
Air & Gas Purification: Used in industrial air filtration, volatile organic compound (VOC) capture, odour control, and removal of mercury and other heavy metals from flue gases.
Food & Beverage Industry: For decolorisation and purification of edible oils, syrups, sweeteners, and alcoholic beverages; also used in sugar refining and to remove impurities in food-grade solutions.
Pharmaceutical Industry: As a purification agent for drug intermediates and active ingredients; also used in medical-grade activated charcoal for poison treatment and overdose cases (oral administration).
Chemical Synthesis: For solvent recovery, catalyst support in chemical reactions, decolorisation of chemical intermediates, and purification of organic and inorganic chemicals.
Gold Recovery (Mining): Used in carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-leach (CIL) processes to adsorb gold cyanide complexes from leach solutions.
Environmental Remediation: For groundwater remediation, soil vapour extraction, and containment of pollutant plumes from industrial sites.
Electronics & Battery Manufacturing: High-purity activated carbon serves as electrode material in supercapacitors and as a component in battery systems for improved charge storage.
Handling & Safety:
Non-toxic but may cause mild respiratory irritation if fine dust is inhaled. Avoid generating airborne dust. Use dust mask and goggles when handling large quantities. Store in dry, sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption which can reduce adsorption efficiency.
