Types of Activated Carbon
What is Activated Carbon?
Activated Carbon is a highly porous material derived from natural sources such as coal, coconut shells, and wood. Through thermal or chemical activation, it develops an extensive internal surface area, giving it exceptional adsorption properties. This makes Activated Carbon one of the most effective materials for removing impurities, odors, colors, and contaminants from liquids and gases.
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
- Designed for fixed-bed filtration systems.
- Commonly used in water treatment, industrial processes, and high-flow applications.
- Ideal for continuous, long-term use.
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
- Used for batch treatment, direct dosing, or mixing in wastewater treatment plants.
- Suitable for short-term, seasonal, or emergency applications.
- Effective for rapid treatment of contaminants.
Palletized Activated Carbon
- Enhanced with special chemical agents.
- Targets specific contaminants such as mercury, sulfur compounds, and acidic gases.
- Ideal for air purification, industrial gas treatment, and specialized filtration.
Energy Storage
- Advanced, eco-friendly energy storage for high-power applications.
- Fast charge–discharge with long operational life.
- Widely used in EVs, renewables, electronics, transport, and aviation.
- Tailored carbon solutions for high energy density, power, and reliability
