What is Activated Carbon?
First used as a purifier in approximately 1500 BC, activated carbon reached the modern world in the 19th century via the sugar refining industry in Europe. Today, it plays a vital role at the home, municipal, and industrial levels, including the automotive industry.

Activated carbon has a tremendous surface area and a vast network of microscopic pores. It attracts an incredible range of both organic and inorganic compounds. It can be used alone or impregnated with specific chemicals to enhance its effectiveness against specific compounds.

In the automotive industry, activated carbon is used to control emissions, remove VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and improve the quality of cabin air. It can also be used to create electrodes for supercapacitors.
