What is activated carbon?

Activated carbon is a porous, irregularly structured material with high surface area, essentially made from carbon. Being naturally derived from sources like wood, coconut shell, coal, etc, it is environmentally safe. Its surface has numerous microscopic pores of various sizes, making it the perfect solution for trapping and absorbing molecules, intoxicants, external particles, toxins, and the like. It is used extensively to remove impurities from gaseous and liquid media via a phenomenon called adsorption. The extensive internal pore network aided by the high surface area gives activated carbon high-efficiency adsorption rates.
