Activated Carbon

What is activated carbon?

Activated carbon is a carbon-based material that has been processed to maximize its adsorptive properties, yielding a superior adsorbent Material.

Activated carbon boasts an impressive pore structure that causes it to have a very high surface area on which to capture and hold materials, and can be produced from a number of carbon-rich organic materials, including:

• Coal

• Coconut Shell

• Wood

• Fruit Shell
