Product Description
Activated Carbon Powder is a high purity type of carbon with a large surface area and tiny holes. It is often made from carbonaceous raw materials such as high-quality coals, coconut shells, or wood, however additional raw materials are being researched and produced on a regular basis. In the absence of oxygen, the raw material is burned before going through an activation process that opens up the tiny pore structure and imparts the massive surface area necessary for purification applications.

Superior Adsorption and VersatilityFeaturing a vast surface area and fine particle size, this activated carbon powder excels in removing impurities, odors, and color from water and air. Its exceptional adsorption capacity ensures effectiveness in demanding industrial and environmental applications, making it suitable for purification, decolorization, and even gold recovery processes.
Unmatched Quality and SafetyProduced under stringent quality controls, the powder contains heavy metals well within permissible limits and offers a high level of purity (99%). Low ash (<5%), minimal volatile content, and robust hardness (>95%) make it reliable for repeated or continuous use. Its neutral to slightly alkaline pH further enhances compatibility across multiple applications.
FAQ's of Activated Carbon Powder:
Q: How is activated carbon powder used in water treatment?
A: Activated carbon powder is added to water treatment systems to adsorb contaminants, remove color, and eliminate unpleasant odors. Its high surface area and fine particle size enable efficient removal of organic compounds, chlorine, and harmful pollutants, improving water quality for diverse industrial and municipal applications.
Q: What are the primary applications of this activated carbon powder?
A: The powder serves as an adsorbent for water treatment, air purification, gold recovery, and chemical processing. It is also effective for decolorization, odor removal, and general purification tasks in industries ranging from environmental management to mining and pharmaceuticals.
Q: When should activated carbon powder be replaced during use?
A: Replacement is generally needed when adsorption efficiency drops, indicated by the return of odors, colors, or contaminants. The timeframe varies based on contaminant load and application, but regular monitoring of water or air quality helps determine optimal replacement intervals.
Q: Where can this activated carbon powder be sourced in India?
A: This high-quality activated carbon powder is widely available through manufacturers, exporters, distributors, dealers, traders, wholesalers, and suppliers across India. It can be ordered directly from authorized sources based on industry requirements.
Q: What benefits does the powder offer compared to other adsorbents?
A: This activated carbon powder provides superior adsorption due to its fine mesh size, high surface area, and purity. It efficiently removes a broad spectrum of contaminants, operates within safe heavy metals limits, and suits a wide range of applications, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and compliance with regulatory standards.
Q: What is the process for using activated carbon powder in purification applications?
A: Typically, activated carbon powder is introduced into the liquid or air stream being treated. It binds and traps contaminants through physical adsorption, after which it is filtered or separated from the treated medium, either through sedimentation, filtration, or chemical precipitation, depending on the process.
