Have you ever wondered how water gets purified or how air pollution is controlled? The secret ingredient behind these processes is activated carbon—a powerful material that plays a crucial role in filtration, purification, and even medical applications. This blog explores the different types of activated carbon and its ever-growing demand in the global market.
Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a highly porous material that traps toxins, pollutants, and impurities. It is made from organic materials such as wood, coconut shells, peat, and coal, which are heated at high temperatures to create millions of tiny pores. These pores help in absorbing chemicals and unwanted substances, making it a go-to material for filtration and purification purposes.
According to BCC Research the activated carbon market grows from $6.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $10.2 billion by the end of 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2029.
