World Activated Carbon Market – Opportunities and Forecasts, 2014-2022

Activated carbon is processed carbon with small, low-volume pores to increase surface area for chemical reactions and adsorption. Organic material with high carbon content is processed to manufacture activated carbon. Physical adsorption is main property of activated carbon which is useful for purification, decaffeination, metal finishing, medicine, filters and removal of pollutant, fuel storage many more. Liquid and gaseous phase of activated carbon enhances its uses in removal of lead, dissolved radon, other odor-causing compounds and mercury. The benefits offered by the activated carbon sector will drive the sector worldwide.…

Activated Carbon Demand in Industrial Air Purification Grows Nearly 5% Annually

In 2015, industrial air purification accounted for 78 percent of activated carbon used in gas phase applications and 39 percent of total US activated carbon demand. This represents significant growth from 2005, when industrial air purification applications represented less than half of total gas phase activated carbon demand. Gains resulted from the phase-in of the EPA’s Mercury & Air Toxics Standards (MATS), which had a final implementation deadline in early 2016. During the phase-in period, the number of activated carbon injection (ACI) systems for mercury control in the US increased significantly. …
