Feasibility Studies: Activated Carbon Manufacturing

Page 1

Industrial Process Economics Reports About Activated Carbon Activated Carbon is a form of carbon processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. It is commonly used in gas purification, decaffeination, metal extraction, gold purification, water purification, medicine, sewage treatment, air filters in gas masks and respirators, filters in compressed air and other applications.

Understand

The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific Activated

Activated Carbon

Carbon production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction

production costs

of an industrial plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. General information included in our reports is presented below.

Coverage of Activated Carbon Process Economics Reports Each report examines one specific Activated Carbon production process, including: AN INTRODUCTION TO ACTIVATED CARBON * Description & applications * Production pathways diagram PROCESS TECHNOLOGY THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING * Product(s) generated & raw material(s) consumed * Physico-chemistry highlights * Industrial site production capacity definition
