What is activated carbon?

💧 Quick Read:
Activated carbon is a traditional carbon-based adsorbent, while BioPhosphate green adsorbents offer a fully macroporous, sustainable alternative with superior efficiency for removing a wide range of contaminants.

🔎  Deep Dive:
Activated carbon is a porous, carbon-based material used to capture and remove contaminants from gases or liquids. Most conventional activated carbons, derived from coal or coconut shells, have primarily micro- and mesoporous structures, which limits their effectiveness for larger molecules.

How BioPhosphate differs:

  • Fully macroporous structure, ideal for both small and large contaminants.
  • Produced as a green adsorbent from renewable, food-grade animal bone via the 3R process.
  • Can be regenerated by removing accumulated pollutants, maintaining adsorption capacity and extending usability.
  • Provides financial, environmental, and market advantages over traditional activated carbon, making it suitable for industrial, municipal, and defence applications.
