Powder Activated Carbon
Powdered varieties of Activated Carbon are used in liquid phase application primarily For removal of undesired color, smell and other impurities in many types of industries Including basic drugs, fine chemicals, glucose, sugar, electroplating plasticizers and so on. Quite often, powdered carbon is washed with acid and then, repeatedly with water & dried to minimize impurities like soluble ash-iron, heavy metals etc.
The carbon is milled and sieved and has a very small particle size, mainly less than 0.18 mm (US Mesh 80) usually with a median diameter of 15 to 30 microns.
PACs are generally used in liquid phase applications and for flue gas treatment.
