Activated carbon is an inert microporous material derived from raw material such as peat, wood, coconut, lignite or coal. Activated carbon is characterized by millions of pores of molecular dimensions creating a large and highly adsorptive internal surface area up to 2,000 m² per gram.

Activated carbon is often used for purification and decolorization of pharmaceutical and chemical products and of foodstuffs. The substances responsible for the color are removed by adsorption unlike in bleaching processes, where the substances are converted. As a function of the concentration of the material to be adsorbed, an equilibrium forms between the phases (liquid or gas) and the surface of the activated carbon. A further characteristic feature of activated carbon is the practically non-polar surface resulting in a high affinity to the likewise mostly non-polar organic molecules. (For further information see Adsorption)
