Activated carbon is a porous form of carbon which can be manufactured from a variety of carbonaceous raw materials. The principal commercial products are made from coconut shell, coal, peat or wood. . The activation process involves treating the raw material with steam or chemicals, thereby developing a pore structure. Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is characterised by a vast system of pores of molecular size within the carbon particles, resulting in the formation of a material with an extensive internal surface area. Commercially available, activated carbons have surface areas from 400m2/g to more than 2000m2/g.
The atoms of carbon, comprising the large internal surface area of activated carbon, present attractive forces outward from the surface. These forces, known as Van der Waals forces, attract the molecules of the surrounding gas or liquid.
The combination of these attractive forces and those of molecules in the surrounding medium result in the adsorption of molecules at the surface of the activated carbon. Some molecules have structures which make them more easily adsorbed than others and it is due to this that the separation of molecules is achieved.
The selection of the most appropriate activated carbon type is based either on known characteristics of the chemicals to be removed in an adsorption process or by a series of controlled laboratory tests.
These are mainly used in batch processes and removed by filtration after an appropriate contact time.
Used in fixed or moving bed filters; the smallest particle of activated carbon is normally consistent with the retention in the filter and acceptable flow resistance, since this will provide the best adsorption kinetics.
Activated carbon is sometimes chemically impregnated to enhance the performance by chemisorption when the adsorption affinity for particular contaminants is too weak to be effective.
The UK’s departure from the European Union has, up to now, been in a transition period whereby previous rules applied. Since this transition period ends on 31st December 2020, we have now transferred our REACH registrations to our Only Representative in the EU; REACH Advice GmbH (ref ECHA-a20a85c3-6dcf-4ddb-9989-8dbb881c39ce).
Our REACH registrations for Activated Carbon therefore continue uninterrupted, as follows:
EC Number |
Chemical |
Reference |
| 931-334-3 | Activated Carbon – Low Density Skeleton | 01-2119488716-22-0005 |
| 931-328-0 | Activated Carbon – High Density Skeleton | 01-2119488894-16-0010 |
Please do not hesitate to contact us for any clarification that may be required.

We are proud to announce that we have now increased our storage capacity to more than 750 tonnes in our UK facility
as a result of our continuous growth, allowing us to expand our product range availability for fast turnaround in Europe.
Last year we celebrated 30 years within the activated carbon industry.
Eurocarb, started by Mr. Don Tyreman and Mr. Malcolm Edwards in 1986 with great passion and determination,
