Coconut Shell Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is a fine, powdered form of activated carbon produced from coconut shells. Similar to granulated activated carbon (GAC), PAC is known for its high surface area, porosity, and adsorption capacity. The primary difference lies in its particle size, which is much smaller, typically less than 0.18 mm in diameter. This small particle size provides a larger surface area per unit volume, making it highly effective for certain applications. PAC is often used in water and wastewater treatment for its rapid absorption kinetics and effective removal of organic contaminants, taste, and odor.
