Activated carbon is the non-graphite form of carbon, which is produced from the carbonaceous raw materials such as coal, lignite, wood, paddy husk, coir pith, and coconut shells. The primary objective of activated carbon is adsorption, which is due to its intrinsic pore network of the lattice structure.By end-user, the global activated carbon market is classified into water treatment,oil and gas, petrochemicals, pharmaceutical, and others. By product type, the market is classified into powdered activated carbon, granular activated carbon, and thers.By application, the market is classified into air purification, water purification, foods and beverages, medical and pharmaceutical products, automobiles, mining, and others. By raw material type, the market is classified into bituminous coal, wood,coconut shell, lignite, and others. By geography, the market is classified into APAC,the Americas, Europe, and MEA.
