ACES is a proven supplier of activated carbons and carbon filters used for purifying liquids and gases. Before we explain what granulated carbon is and its applications, let's provide a general definition of activated carbon.
Activated carbon is a processed, amorphous carbon material with a microcrystalline structure. The production involves two main stages—carbonization and activation. During these processes, pores are formed, making carbon an excellent adsorbent. One of the material's distinctive features is its large internal surface area. Most commonly used activated carbons have a surface area ranging from 800 to 1200 m2/g.
This means that by monitoring the processing methods of carbon, we can influence its properties and future applications. The shape of the material is also important, as it determines its effectiveness in specific cases.
Granulated carbon is simply activated carbon in the form of irregularly shaped granules. It is produced from high-quality raw materials such as coal, wood, or coconut shells. Granulated activated carbon is primarily used for liquid purification, although larger granules can also be applied for air or gas purification.
Activated carbon made from coconut shells consists of micropores formed during carbonization and activation. This material is very resistant to abrasion, making it suitable for processes that expose it to mechanical damage and rapid changes in working conditions. It is also used in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and wherever sterility and the absence of contaminants are required.
