Applications
Activated carbon nanopowder (also known as activated coal) has an exceptionally high surface area, making it extremely reactive. As a result, it must be handled carefully, avoiding rapid movements and vibrations. The nanopowder should be protected from sunlight, heat, moisture, and mechanical impacts. Because particle coagulation is a significant concern, it should be vacuum-sealed and stored in cool, dry conditions.
This nanopowder is plant-derived, fully natural, and features a very high surface area. It disperses easily in various solvents. Owing to its strong adsorption capability and chemical reactivity, it is suitable for use in food storage, cosmetics, health-care products, medicine, and applications requiring high adsorption and reactivity.
