Jacobi Activated Carbon

Activated carbon, is a specially treated carbon that heats organic raw materials (rice husks, coal, wood, etc.) in the absence of air to reduce non-carbon components (this process is called carbonization), and then reacting with the gas, the surface is corroded to produce a microporous structure (this process is called activation). Because the activation process is a microscopic process, that is, the surface erosion of a large number of molecular carbides is point erosion, resulting in numerous small pores on the surface of activated carbon. The diameter of micropores on the surface of activated carbon is mostly between 2-50nm. Even a small amount of activated carbon has a huge surface area. The surface area per gram of activated carbon is 500-1500m2. Almost all applications of activated carbon are based on this characteristic of activated carbon.

Product Introduction

Analytical chemistry

Activated carbon, in 50% w/w combination with celite, is used as stationary phase in low-pressure chromatographic separation of carbohydrates (mono-, di-, tri-saccharides) using ethanol solutions (5–50%) as mobile phase in analytical or preparative protocols.

Activated carbon is useful for extracting the direct oral anticoagulants(DOACs) such as dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban and edoxaban from blood plasma samples. For this purpose it has been made into "minitablets", each containing 5 mg activated carbon for treating 1ml samples of DOAC. Since this activated carbon has no effect on blood clotting factors, heparin or most other anticoagulants this allows a plasma sample to be analyzed for abnormalities otherwise affected by the DOACs.

Environmental

Carbon adsorption has numerous applications in removing pollutants from air or water streams both in the field and in industrial processes such as:

Spill cleanup
Groundwater remediation
Drinking water filtration
Air purification
Volatile organic compounds are captured from painting, dry cleaning, gasoline dispensing operations, and other processes.
Volatile organic compounds recovery (solvent recovery systems, SRU) from flexible packaging, converting, coating, and other processes.

Chemical purification

Activated carbon is commonly used on the laboratory scale to purify solutions of organic molecules containing unwanted colored organic impurities.

Filtration over activated carbon is used in large-scale fine chemical and pharmaceutical processes for the same purpose. The carbon is either mixed with the solution and then filtered off or immobilized in a filter.
