Activated carbon and related adsorbents remove high-molecular-weight pigments and proteins to decolorize and purify process liquids. They are used to clean up sugar solutions and organic acids and to clarify injectable drug solutions. Buyers choose by raw material source and grade, low ash content and pharmacopoeial compliance, depending on how sensitive the use is. Browse powdered activated carbons, Japanese carbon makers, and filter aids and silica-based adsorbents.
