Activated carbon is a very useful adsorbent. Due to their high surface area, pore structure, and high degree of surface reactivity, activated carbon can be used to purify, dechlorinate, deodorize and decolorize both liquid and vapor applications.
The definition of a water treatment chemical can be given in two lines, however, this is not sufficient and would be arbitrary if done so. Let us briefly describe what makes us dependent on water treatment chemicals.
Charcoal and activated carbon are two forms of carbon that have a lot of overlap and have very similar compositions and production methods. What are the differences between them?
