Section II: Types of Activated Carbon
Activated carbon comes in many varieties due to differences in raw material sourcing, manufacturing methods, appearance, and applications. To date, there is no accurate statistics, with estimates suggesting there are over a thousand different types.
By raw material source
1. Wooden activated carbon
2. Animal bones, blood charcoal
3. Mineral Raw Material Activated Carbon
4. Activated Carbon for Other Raw Materials
5. Activated Carbon Reclamation
By manufacturing method
1. Chemical Activated Carbon (Chemical Carbon)
2. Physical Activated Carbon
3. Activated Carbon - Physical or Physical-Chemical Method
By appearance and shape
Powdered activated carbon
2. Granular activated carbon
3. Non-standard granular activated carbon
4. Cylindrical Activated Carbon
5. Spherical Activated Carbon
6. Other shapes of activated carbon
By aperture size [2]
Large Holes - Diameter > 20,000 nm
Transition Hole Radius: 150 ~ 20,000 nm
Micro-porous activated carbon with a pore radius less than 150nm primarily derives its surface area from the micropores.
