(MENAFN Editorial) Activated carbon is used in water purification which includes municipal water treatment and effluent water treatment. Effluent water purification involves removing contaminants from industrial and municipal waste water, sewage water, landfill leachate and contaminated ground.

Activated carbons manufactured from coconut shells are mainly in powdered and granular forms, while those from coal are commonly in powdered, granular and extruded forms and those manufactured from wood are majorly powdered form.
Ceskaa Research projects that the global value market for activated carbon is expected to grow from $3.0 billion in 2016 to $3.2 billion in 2017 at a year-on-year growth rate of 8.7%. In addition, the market is expected to grow at a five-year CAGR of 7.8%, to reach nearly $4.7 billion in 2022

Wood activated carbon is shaped from the rest of wood preparing, including wood chips and sawdust. The wood matter staying after the handling is pulverized to shape a homogenous powder and treated with steam at high temperatures. This prompts the development of a very permeable and formless carbon sort known. The high porosity and high surface zone of wood initiated carbon particles are profoundly helpful in a few filtration applications, since the carbon particles append to risky contaminants, for example, mercury and lead, which would then be able to be isolated effectively.
Water purification is the major end-user application market for activated carbon, due to the depleting water resources and increasing health awareness. The water treatment industry is divided into five sub types potable water treatment, waste water treatment, sewage water treatment, demineralised (DM) steam condensation and DM industrial RO (Reverse Osmosis).

Powdered activated carbon is extensively used in drinking water purification, effluent water treatment, aquarium filters, swimming pool filters, and in brewing and bottling. Increasing growth of these applications is expected to drive the market through 2022.

Wood based activated carbon is manufactured from hard wood, soft wood and saw dust. The high surface area is characterized by a large proportion of mesopores and micropores. This has relatively low density and renewable source of raw material. Powdered activated carbons are produced from wood by chemical activation. The U.S is the largest producer and consumer of wood based activated carbons.

The two noteworthy uses of wood initiated carbon are in the expulsion of mercury from vaporous industrial emissions and the evacuation of lead and different contaminants from general society water supply. The last is the predominant application portion of the wood initiated carbon market in developing regions such as Asia Pacific.

The demand for potable water especially, bottled water is increasing at a faster pace and contributes to approximately 33% of the water treatment market. Potable water purification market is primarily driven by the Stage 2 Disinfection By-product Rule introduced by the EPA in 2006, which sets maximum levels for disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water. DBPs are harmful compounds formed when chlorine and other naturally occurring materials such as trihalomethanes (THMs) combines together. EPA recommends usage of granular activated carbon for removal of DBPs.
