Activated Carbon (Granular) - India
Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal or activated coal, is a form of carbon distinguished by its tiny pores that significantly increase its surface area. This expanded surface area is crucial for adsorption, a process where particles like atoms, ions, or molecules in gas, liquid, or solid form are attracted and held onto the surface. Activated carbon's ability to trap these particles within its internal pore structure through electrostatic attraction or chemisorption makes it valuable across industries. It plays a vital role in removing harmful substances in chemical processes, accelerating chemical reactions, and acting as a carrier for biomass and chemicals.
