Results for tag: "Pelletized Activated Carbon"

Within the context of Advanced Materials, pelletized activated carbon (PAC) is a form of activated carbon that has been processed into cylindrical-shaped pellets. These pellets are manufactured from carbonaceous materials like coal, wood, or coconut shells, undergoing a series of thermal and chemical treatments to increase their surface area and pore distribution, making them highly adsorptive. Pelletized activated carbon is commonly used in gas purification, water treatment, chemical purification, and air filtration. Its advanced material properties are particularly useful in applications requiring low dust content and high mechanical strength. Advanced materials such as PAC are essential in environmental applications for removing contaminants and improving air and water quality. Innovations in the production and functionalization of PAC cater to specific industry needs, such as the development of tailored pore structures for better adsorption of certain chemicals or the impregnation with metals for enhanced catalytic properties. PAC’s versatility is also evident in its use in the energy sector for gas storage and as a catalyst support in fuel cells. Several companies specialize in the production and supply of pelletized activated carbon. Prominent names in the market include Cabot Corporation, Calgon Carbon Corporation, Carbon Activated Corporation, Kuraray Co. Ltd, and Jacobi Carbons AB. These companies offer a range of activated carbon products and solutions catering to diverse industrial applications, highlighting the innovation and adaptability of advanced materials in contemporary environmental and industrial challenges.
