Activated Carbon

Activated Coal

Activated carbon (coal) is a substance with a developed porous structure, high purity and large surface area, obtained by chemical or physical activation methods of plant-based materials such as wood and coconut shell.

Acticarbone brand of Chemviron company is preferred in many areas with its superior adsorption capacity, high purity and good filterability.

Applications

Physically and chemically activated carbons, which are preferred in the food and beverage industry, are used for the removal of patulin and odor, the removal of high molecular weight colorants and proteins in liquids, as well as the removal of HMF (hydroxymethylfurfural) that causes dark color formation and various large molecules.

It is used for color lightening, removal of color-causing substances and purification purposes in sugar syrups obtained from sucrose obtained from sugar cane or beet, in other words, sugar and other starch derivatives such as glucose and maltose.

For the adsorption of compounds that cause undesirable taste and odor in edible oil processes and for the removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH),

It can be used for decolorization and purification purposes, especially in the content of active ingredients of drugs such as antibiotics, antivirals and analgesics.
