Activated carbon is a highly porous form of carbon with exceptional adsorption properties, widely used for purifying liquids, gases, and chemicals. It is produced from carbon-rich materials like coal, coconut shells, or wood through physical or chemical activation processes that create a large surface area, making it effective for removing impurities, toxins, odors, and contaminants. Its applications span across water treatment, air purification, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage processing, and industrial chemical recovery, making it a critical material in environmental and industrial sectors.
Setting up an activated carbon production plant requires access to suitable raw materials, activation furnaces or kilns, crushing and screening equipment, and packaging facilities. The process includes carbonization, activation, cooling, and finishing. Proper infrastructure, energy supply, pollution control systems, and skilled manpower are essential for efficient operations. Additionally, securing regulatory approvals and adopting modern technologies for cost-effectiveness and sustainability are vital for establishing a competitive and profitable production facility.
