What Is Activated Carbon? Activated carbon is a highly porous substance that attracts and holds organic chemicals inside it. The great surface area of this internal pore network results in an extremely large surface area that can attract and hold organic chemicals.
Most people have a misunderstanding that there is a difference between activated carbon and activated charcoal. Both of these terms can and are used interchangeably. As well, active carbon is another similar word used for activated carbon and activated charcoal. All of these phrases are synonymous and commonly found in our field. What Does Activated Carbon Do? Activated carbon attracts and holds organic chemicals from vapor and liquid streams cleaning them of unwanted chemicals.
It does not have a great capacity for these chemicals, but is very cost effective for treating large volumes of air or water to remove dilute concentrations of contamination. For a better perspective, when individuals ingest chemicals or are experiencing food poisoning, they are instructed to drink a small amount of activated carbon to soak up and remove the poisons.

Catalytic carbon is created by altering the surface structure of activated carbon. It is modified by gas processing at high temperatures to change the electronic structure and create the highest level of catalytic activity on carbon for reducing chloramine and H2S in water. This added catalytic functionality is much greater than that found in traditional activated carbons.
Catalytic carbon is an economical solution to treat H2S levels as high as 20 to 30 ppm. Catalytic carbon converts adsorbed H2S into sulfuric acid and sulfurous acid which are water soluble, so carbon systems can be regenerated with water washing to restore H2S capacity for less frequent physical change-outs. Surface impregnation chemically modifies activated carbon through a fine distribution of chemicals and metal particles on the internal surfaces of its pores.
And provides a cost-effective way to remove impurities from gas streams which would otherwise not be possible. Impregnated activated carbon is used to treat flue gases in coal-fired generation plants and other air pollution control applications. Carbon can be specifically impregnated for removal of acid gases, ammonia and amines, aldehydes, radio-active iodine, mercury and inorganic gases such as arsine and phosphine.
What is adsorption? What is activated carbon made from? Forms of activated carbon There are three main forms of activated carbon activated charcoal. Activated carbon is also available in special forms such as a cloth and fibres. What makes molecules adsorb on activated carbon? What compounds are adsorbed? In general, the adsorbability of a compound increases with: increasing molecular weight a higher number of functional groups such as double bonds or halogen compounds increasing polarisability of the molecule.
