Description
Charcoal Activated, [Catalyst for Oxidation using Molecular Oxygen] is a form of carbon processed with steam or chemicals to generate many low-volume pores that increases the surface area available for absorption or chemical reactions. Because of its huge degree of micro-porosity, one gram can have up to 1000 m2 of surface area. Activated charcoal has many uses including gas purification, decaffeination, gold purification, metal extraction, water purification, medicine, sewage treatment, air filters, gas masks, and respirators along with filters in compressed air tanks. Ungraded products supplied by TCI America are generally suitable for common industrial uses or for research purposes but typically are not suitable for human consumption or therapeutic use.
