Activated Carbon Industry 2017 Share, Growth and Demand Forecast – Radiant Insights

Activated carbon, also referred to as activated charcoal, is a porous, highly adsorptive version of carbon that is used for filtering gases or liquids. It has various applications in food and beverage processing, municipal drinking water, industrial pollution control, odor removal, and more.


Any organic material that has rich carbon content can be used as raw material to produce activated carbon. Carbon-based materials are converted into activated carbon using some physical alterations and thermal decomposition in a heating system, under suitable temperature and atmosphere. The final product has an enhanced surface area per unit volume and submicroscopic pores where the process of adsorption takes place.

Storage Batteries Using Coffee Grounds
Storage batteries find wide applications in various factories for emergency backup power. A team of researchers at the Industrial Research Institute of Shizuoka Prefecture is developing storage batteries that use activated carbon derived from coffee grounds. This makes these batteries cheaper and environment-friendly  Activated carbon derived from coffee grounds is as effective as it conventional counterpart and, as per the developers; it can be helpful for a range of applications.

Activated charcoal can help store electricity when soaked in an electrolyte solution as it has numerous microscopic holes on its surface. The broader surface and finer holes increase their electricity storage capacity. The research team found that coffee grounds have high carbon content and are full of fine holes, like regular activated charcoal. Thus, they can be used to develop a power storage battery with two thin pieces of plates made of charcoal.

Market Insights:
As per a new research report available on Radiant Insights, Inc.; the global activated carbon market is likely to showcase strong growth during the forecast period (from 2014 to 2022).
