Activated Carbon
Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, activated coal, or carbo activates, is a form of carbon processed to be riddled with small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions.
Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, activated coal, or carbo activates, is a form of carbon processed to be riddled with small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions.
Activated is sometimes substituted with active Due to its high degree of microporosity, just one gram of activated carbon has a surface area in excess of 500 m2, as determined by adsorption isotherms of carbon dioxide gas at room or 0.0 °C temperature.
An activation level sufficient for useful application may be attained solely from high surface area; however, further chemical treatment often enhances adsorption properties
Activated carbon is usually derived from charcoal.
