Powdered Activated Carbon
Powdered activated carbon, also known as PAC, is a fine particle carbon material used where rapid dispersion, short contact time, and effective adsorption are required. SorbiTech™ supplies powder activated carbon grades for liquid phase treatment, process polishing, decolorization, odor control, and industrial purification applications.
Activated Carbon Dubai supplies powdered activated carbon (PAC) from SorbiTech™ Group to industrial buyers in the region. Every shipment includes a lot linked Certificate of Analysis, technical datasheet, safety data sheet, and complete customs paperwork ready for regional import.
Key Features
- Very fine particle size, below 0.18 mm (mesh 80 and finer) per ASTM classification
- Internal surface area of 800 to 1200 m²/g for high adsorption capacity
- Dosed directly into the process liquid, no fixed bed required
- Reaches adsorption equilibrium within 15 to 60 minutes of contact
- Standard iodine number 800 to 1200 mg/g, custom grades on request
- Suitable for water, gas, and specialized industrial adsorption applications
