Firing-activated special carbon

Orcarbon (activated carbon) is a special carbon that is mainly made from wood, coconut shells, or coal, and is activated by calcination. Activated carbon is formed by small plate-like micropores of about 1 to 6 nm (1 nm = 10 A). Depending on the bonding state of these micropores, countless gaps ranging from 2 to 10 nm to 10,000 nm are formed. Because activated carbon has such a spongy porous structure, it has a large surface area of ​​500 to 1,700m ² per gram , which is the source of its large adsorption capacity.
