For powder activated carbon, it is generally produced from coal or wood raw material. Wood activated carbon is usually used in food, beverage, and medicine industry.
Coal based activated carbon originates from coal that has undergone a steam activation process. It has three different types of raw material base material - bituminous, anthracite, & lignite, consisting of micro, meso and macro pore structures. During activation, millions of pores are created on the surface of the carbon, increasing the total surface area. This unique pore distribution makes coal based activated carbon ideal to remove small to large molecular structures.
Typical applications include but are not limited to odor control in liquid & vapor phase applications, improve taste in liquids, liquid decolorization and purification of wastewater & potable water. Coal base carbon is also available in granular, extruded (Pelletized), and powder forms.

Application
For the decolorizing application, it has two important indexes for performance.
(1) Methylene Blue adsorption: giving an indication of the capacity for adsorption of medium-sized molecules including dyes. It is higher for carbons which have a preponderance of mesopores (2-5 nm diameter).
(2) Molasses index: the adsorption of molasses from solution can be used to give an indication of the capability to adsorb larger molecules, and is again strongly dependent on the mesopore structure.
