Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) is a highly versatile and effective adsorbent material, widely recognized for its exceptional purification capabilities. Produced from various high-quality organic raw materials such as wood chips, coal, and coconut shells, PAC undergoes meticulous activation processes to develop a sophisticated porous structure. This intricate network of pores provides an an immense surface area, making it an indispensable tool for adsorption in numerous industrial applications. Its fine particle size, typically less than 80 mesh, ensures rapid kinetics and efficient removal of impurities.

The production of Powdered Activated Carbon at NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. involves either physical or chemical activation methods. The physical method typically includes carbonization followed by steam activation, while the chemical method often utilizes zinc chloride or phosphoric acid to create the desired pore structure. This results in a product characterized by its high surface area, strong adsorption capacity, and fast filtration rates. Key specifications often include a surface area exceeding 1000m²/g, a density ranging from 0.45-0.55 g/cm³, low ash content (typically 4% max), and low moisture (6% max). These properties contribute to its superior performance in diverse purification tasks.

One of the most critical applications for Powdered Activated Carbon is in water treatment. It is an economical and reliable solution for improving water quality in municipal and industrial settings. PAC is highly effective in controlling taste, odor, and color issues in drinking water by adsorbing organic compounds such as MIB and Geosmin, as well as disinfection byproduct precursors, herbicides like atrazine, and harmful algal toxins. Furthermore, it plays a vital role in environmental water treatment, providing cost-effective remediation for industrial wastewater discharges, landfill leachate, and various ground and surface water contaminants, including emerging concerns like PFAS and 1,4-Dioxane.

The food and beverage industry significantly benefits from Powdered Activated Carbon's decolorization and purification properties. It is extensively used for refining sugar, monosodium glutamate (MSG), glucose, and starch sugar, ensuring product purity and visual appeal. PAC is also instrumental in the production of various beverages, effectively removing unwanted colors, tastes, and odors from wine, improving beer taste, and purifying gelatin. Its broad utility extends to the refinement of amino acids, vitamins, organic acids, and other food additives, guaranteeing high-quality end products for consumers.

In the pharmaceutical sector, Powdered Activated Carbon is essential for the purification and decolorization of medicines, pharmaceutical preparations, antibiotics, steroids, and vitamins. Its ability to remove impurities ensures the safety and efficacy of critical health products. Beyond these, PAC finds extensive use in various industrial processes, including the purification of liquid chemicals, catalyst support, gas processing, and the removal of mercury from flue gas streams. Its versatile adsorptive capacity makes it invaluable for numerous specialized industrial applications requiring high-purity outcomes.

The adoption of Powdered Activated Carbon offers substantial benefits, including reduced operating costs, minimal waste sludge generation, and efficient resource conservation, all while delivering superior product quality. For optimal performance, it is crucial to conduct adsorption tests (such as jar tests) to determine the precise PAC type and dosage required for specific contaminants and concentrations. Adequate contact time, typically a minimum of 15 minutes, coupled with effective mixing, is vital to achieve the carbon's full adsorption potential. While PAC offers numerous advantages, handlers should be aware of its fine, aeratable nature and potential for dust, necessitating proper handling systems to ensure safety and efficiency.
