Carbon--Activated

About the Carbon-Activated heading in Yellow™

Activated carbon is a chemical substance and must be handled by chemical industry professionals. To find suppliers of activated carbon, look under this Yellow™ heading. Activated carbon is a black or charcoal-coloured object. It is a powder like material that feels like sand. It is activated by other chemical substances at very high temperatures, and it is made out of natural elements like coconut shell, wood, sawdust, coal, and other substances. The main feature of activated carbon is that it can soak up large amounts of chemical toxins found in everyday material such as air, water, and pollutants from waste, sewage, and harmful gas substances.

Since active carbon is a chemical substance and is used for large scale industrial projects or scientific research, it is only handled by professionally trained people. Chemicals that make activated carbon at high temperatures are, for example, phosphoric acid and zinc chloride.  Since small amounts of activated charcoal are able to soak up large amounts of unwanted chemicals on its own surface, it is used for large scale public works projects, food purification, and colour removal. The toxins that activated carbon removes are those that can pollute our surrounding environment on a daily basis.

There are common daily items that we use that are treated with activated carbon. Items such as home water systems are treated with carbon filters to provide us with clean drinking water. It is also used in different kinds of vents to make clean air. When the item makes contact with skin, it can result in itchiness, but it can usually be removed with soap and water. If it is swallowed, drinking large amounts of water can help remove the substance from your body. In such cases it is best to seek medical attention.
