Introduction of activated carbon | What is Activated Carbon?Types of activated carbon
Types of activated carbon
Activated carbon is classified as follows according to the shape.
Powdered activated carbon
Powdered activated carbon is a powder smaller than 100 mesh (0.15mmφ).
In Japan, gas activated carbon and zinc chloride activated carbon are available. Phosphoric acid activated carbon is available in countries other than Japan.
Granular activated carbon
In Japan, only gas activated carbon is available, but phosphoric acid activated carbon is available in countries other than Japan.
