Activated Carbon is a porous type of Carbon produced from various carbon-rich materials such as wood, coconut shells, coal, etc., produced through carbonization and activation. The carbonization process initially removes most non-carbon elements like hydrogen and oxygen in a gaseous form, developing internal pores. Subsequently, the material undergoes chemical or steam activation, which enhances the quantity and size of these pores, resulting in a substantial internal surface area. Due to its well-developed pore structure and extensive internal surface area, Activated Carbon has remarkable adsorption capabilities and is available in granular, pelletized, and powder forms.

• Activated Carbon features three types of pore volume categories:
• Micro Pores(<2 nm wide) for adsorbing molecules, 
• Meso Pores (2-50 nm) wide for transporting,
• Macro Pores >50 nm wide as entry points for contaminated molecules.
