Research Summary
Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a highly porous form of carbon with a large surface area and a network of interconnected pores. It is produced by heating carbon-rich materials, such as wood, coconut shells, or coal, to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, a process called activation. This activation process removes impurities and volatiles, leaving behind a carbon structure with a high degree of microporosity and surface area. Activated carbon is widely used for its adsorption properties, which enable it to trap and remove contaminants, pollutants, and odors from air, water, and other liquids and gases. It is commonly used in air and water purification systems, gas masks, respirators, chemical filtration, wastewater treatment, medical applications, and various industrial processes. Additionally, activated carbon is used in the production of batteries, catalysts, food and beverage processing, and pharmaceuticals, among other applications, due to its versatility and effectiveness in adsorbing a wide range of substances.
