Activated Carbon is a processed form of carbon with high porosity and surface area (500?1500 mý/g). It is produced by pyrolyzing carbon-rich materials (like coconut shell or coal), followed by activation. It is known for strong adsorption capacity for organic compounds and impurities.

Air Purification: Captures VOCs and odors in HVAC systems and gas masks.
Pharmaceuticals: Used in poison treatments and API purification.
Food & Beverage: Used in decolorizing sugar syrups and alcoholic beverages.
Mining: Gold recovery via carbon-in-pulp and carbon-in-leach processes.
