Plastics are made from carbon polymers. Carbon is used to form alloys with iron such as carbon steel. Graphite and clay are combined to make the lead used in pencils. Charcoal is commonly used for grilling food on barbeques.
Activated carbon is a material that is produced from carbonaceous source materials, such as coal, coconuts, nutshells, peat, wood, and lignite. The primary raw material used for activated carbon is any organic material with a high carbon content.The carbon-based material is converted to activated carbon through physical modification and thermal decomposition in a furnace, under a controlled atmosphere and temperature.The finished product has a large surface area per unit volume and a network of submicroscopic pores where adsorption takes place.n activated carbon product can be characterized by its activity and physical properties. Activity properties include pore size distribution that defines the available pore volume of a carbon over three pore size regions: the micropore, mesopore, and macropore regions.
