Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal and activated coal, is a form of carbon that removes organic compounds from liquids and gases by a process known as “adsorption.” Activated carbon is extremely porous and thus has a very large surface area available for adsorption. It is used in a wide range of applications in gas, vapor, and liquid treatments. Activated carbon is an effective method for removing chlorine and its by-products (total trihalomethanes - TTHM's), and volatile organic compounds (carbon-based VOC's). It is used for medicinal purposes; in gas masks to filter out chlorine gas, as well as in water treatment to remove organic compounds that impart color, taste, and odor to the water.
The global activated carbon market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period 2016 to 2021, in terms of value to reach USD 8.12 billion by 2021.
