Activated Carbon

 

 

Activated carbons are made of a variety of materials, the most common of which are bituminous coal and lignite. They have specific properties that are a function of the material source and the mode of activation. Property standards are also useful in specifying activated carbon for a specific application. Granular carbons from bituminous coal and lignite are used mainly in wastewater treatment applications. Granulated, activated carbon can also be produced by roasting organic material.
