Manufacturing Options for Activated Carbons with Selected Synthetic Polymers as Binders.

Formed activated carbon (AC) is a multipurpose product with developed adsorption properties that is widely used in various areas of life. To create AC, hard coal has to go through various processes: grinding, granulation, carbonization, physical and/or chemical activation. Presented research was conducted in the professional company manufacturing activated carbons.

Research on the Development of Technologies for the Production of Granulated Activated Carbons Using Various Binders.

Activated carbons (ACs) are processed carbon-rich materials with a highly developed inner surface and significant porosity used for different media treatment in municipal and industrial plants. Activated carbon may be manufactured as powdered activated carbon (PAC), gritty activated carbon (in a form of raw angels grains) or granulated activated carbon (GAC). The production of the GAC is based on carbonaceous raw materials and various types of binders.
