$ECTH Activated Carbon: Another application of biocarbon is the conversion of the biocarbon to activated biocarbon(i.e., activated carbon from biomass) through torrefication. Activated carbon is a traditional technology for air and water treatment. However, the “new science” of activated biocarbon is an exciting opportunity to produce renewable environmental products that are in many ways superior to their current fossil fuel based competitor products . The resulting beneficial property of activated carbon is its unique ability to trap trace contaminants is its porous structure and huge surface area.
