Activated carbons are carbonaceous adsorbents with a highly crystalline form and high internal pore structure. A wide variety of activated carbon products are available depending upon the starting raw material and activation technique. Activated carbons are used to recover organic solvents, purify CO2 from fermentation processes, purification of drinking water, amine and glycol treating. decolorizing of water, and various other chemical and petrochemical processes.
