Hey, so the global market for activated charcoal is predicted to really take off in the coming years! Why? Well, it's all about the increasing need for it in cleaning up water and sewage. It's super effective at getting rid of all sorts of nasty stuff floating around in there. Plus, with more and more people moving to cities, especially in developing countries, we're seeing a boom in industries that need a lot of water. Unfortunately, that also means more water pollution in many places. All this industrial growth is really pushing the demand for activated charcoal to help treat wastewater. And get this – it's also a pretty cheap way to clean up the air, getting rid of things like siloxanes and those smelly volatile organic compounds. So yeah, expect this market to keep growing strong until at least 2026!
Activated charcoal, also known as activated carbon, is a fine black powder made from bone char, coconut shells, peat, petroleum coke, coal, olive pits or sawdust. Manufacturers make activated charcoal by heating common charcoal in the presence of certain gases at high temperature. The high temperatures changes its internal structure, reducing the size of its pores and increasing its surface area. The activated charcoal's porous texture has a negative electrical charge, which causes it to attract positively charged molecules, such as toxins and gases.
