Ecologix Environmental Systems Activated Carbon - Coal Based

Activated carbon is a carbon material mostly derived from charcoal. The unique structure of activated carbon produces a very large surface area: 1 lb of granular activated carbon typically provides a surface area of 125 acres (1 Kg =1,000,000 sq. m.). The activated carbon surface is non-polar which results in an affinity for non-polar adsorbates such as organics. Activated carbon is very effective in applications requiring air or water purification as well as precious metal recovery or removal.
