Activated Carbon Plant

Activated carbon is carbon produced from carbonaceous source materials such as bamboo, coconut husk, willow peat, wood, coir, lignite, coal, and petroleum pitch. It can be produced (activated) by one of the following processes: Physical activation: The source material is developed into activated carbon using hot gases. Activated carbon treatment at water treatment plants is typically installed to provide removal of natural organic compounds, taste and odor compounds, and synthetic organic chemicals. Activated carbon adsorption physically attaches gas or liquid phase molecules to the surface of the activated carbon.
