Activated Carbon from Bamboo
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Activated carbon is a non-graphite form of carbon and is micro crystalline in nature. It is extensively used in various industries as a very good adsorbent for odour or colour. Activated carbon is an important component of ?lter material for the removal of hazardous components in exhaust gases for the puri?cation of drinking water and for waste water treatment. Bamboo can be converted into charcoal and activated carbon via carbonisation followed by activation.
In recent years, there has been a rising expansion of the activated carbon (AC) global market. According to the Transparency Market Research (TMR), the product transactions reached, in 2012, 1.913 billion dollars and the predictions are that at the end of 2019 the numbers surpass the mark of 4.180 billion, presenting an annual increase rate of 11.9% in the 2013-2019 period. This facilitates the development of new technologies and ensures a high quality product.
