Activated Coke is a form of carbon derived primarily from coal, though it can also be produced from other carbonaceous materials. It is treated or 'activated' to increase its surface area and porosity, enhancing its ability to adsorb gases and solutes. This process typically involves heating the material in the presence of gases that chemically react with the carbon, creating a highly porous structure. Activated coke is particularly effective in adsorbing pollutants and contaminants from gas streams, making it valuable in environmental applications such as air purification and industrial emission control. Its high surface area also makes it useful in chemical processes and as a catalyst support.
