Activated Carbon
- Activated carbon is a highly porous material used for filtration and adsorption in various industries, including water purification, air treatment, and medical applications.
- The production process begins with selecting a carbon-rich raw material, such as coconut shells, wood, or coal, which is then cleaned and dried.
- The raw material undergoes carbonization, where it is heated in an inert atmosphere to remove volatile substances, leaving behind a solid carbon structure.
- The carbonized material is activated through physical or chemical processes to develop a highly porous structure, enhancing its adsorption capabilities.
- The activated carbon is then crushed, sized, and tested for surface area, pore size, and adsorption capacity to ensure it meets quality standards for its intended applications.
