Activated Carbon Manufacturing in the US - Industry Market Research Report
Activated Carbon Manufacturing in the US
The Activated Carbon Manufacturing industry has continued to be subject to influence from an intensified focus on environmental policy. Activated carbon is processed with oxygen to create pores between carbon atoms, increasing their surface area and enabling activated carbon to absorb contaminants as liquid or gas passes through it. Activated carbon is used primarily for water treatment and air purification. A range of downstream industrial sectors rely on activated carbon for the removal of impurities. The industry is beholden to industrial production activity as it is typically correlated with the issuance of additional contaminants and an increased need for activated carbon products.
Companies in this industry manufacture activated carbon, which is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous. Thus, activated carbon has a very large surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. Activated carbon is produced from carbonaceous source materials, such as nutshells, peat, wood, coir, lignite, coal and petroleum pitch and is used for a range of purposes, including gas purification and water purification.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
