Activated Carbon, also known as Elemental Carbon or Vitreous Carbon (CAS 97793-37-8), is effective owing to its high surface area and porosity. The material appears as granular particles, which increases its capacity to trap pollutants efficiently. The product’s density is relative to its composition, typically ranging from 1.8 to 3.51 g/cm³. Technical buyers should consider the granule size and density when specifying for orders, as these factors influence the adsorption effectiveness in specific applications.
