Black Activated Carbon Supplier & Distributor In India
Chemical Bull is a Black Activated Carbon supplier, distributor, and exporter in India, supporting sourcing enquiries from water treatment companies, chemical processors, filtration equipment manufacturers, food and beverage producers, distributors, wholesalers, and global B2B buyers.
Black Activated Carbon is a porous carbon adsorbent used in selected purification, filtration, decolourisation, and odour-control applications. Buyers can request grade specifications, particle size, adsorption performance, COA, TDS, MSDS or SDS, packing details, and bulk pricing.
Overview of Black Activated Carbon
Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is produced from carbon-rich materials such as coconut shell, wood, or coal. Activation develops pores that provide surface area for adsorption of suitable substances from liquids or gases.
“Black” describes the material’s appearance rather than a specific performance grade. It does not identify the feedstock, activation method, washing treatment, pore structure, or adsorption capacity.
Activated carbon is commonly identified by CAS number 7440-44-0. It is a carbon-rich material with variable moisture, mineral content, and surface chemistry. A single molecular weight does not describe the complete commercial product.
Commercial forms include powder, granules, and pellets. The appropriate form depends on the treatment process, target contaminants, equipment design, and required separation or filtration method.
Applications of Black Activated Carbon
Water & Wastewater Treatment
Suitable activated carbon grades adsorb selected dissolved organic contaminants and compounds affecting colour, taste, or odour. Treatment performance depends on contaminant type, concentration, contact time, and carbon selection.
Chemical Purification & Decolourisation
Chemical manufacturers use activated carbon to remove selected impurities and unwanted colour from process liquids. Buyers should evaluate adsorption efficiency, product losses, filtration behaviour, and leachable impurities.
Air & Gas Treatment
Appropriate granular or pellet grades are used for selected vapour-phase adsorption and odour-control duties. Some contaminants require specialised impregnated or catalytic grades; general-purpose carbon should not be assumed suitable for every gas.
Food & Beverage Processing
Qualified activated carbon grades are used in selected food and beverage purification and decolourisation processes. Confirm application-specific compliance, impurity limits, and the required removal of carbon from the treated product.
Fine Chemical & Pharmaceutical Processing
Appropriately qualified grades support selected process purification steps. Pharmaceutical manufacturers should confirm the relevant quality requirements and process suitability. Black appearance alone does not establish pharmaceutical-grade status.
Powder, Granules & Pellets
Powdered activated carbon is commonly mixed into a process liquid and subsequently removed by an appropriate separation method. Granular carbon is often used in adsorption beds through which the treatment stream passes.
Pelletised carbon is used in suitable adsorption equipment where particle shape, strength, and pressure drop matter. Buyers should select the supplied form according to their equipment and treatment requirements.
Specifications To Check Before Buying Black Activated Carbon
Confirm feedstock, activation method, supplied form, washing treatment, particle size distribution, iodine number, moisture, ash content, extract pH, bulk density, and relevant leachable impurities.
Granular and pellet grades may also require hardness, abrasion, and pressure-drop assessment. Powdered grades should be evaluated for dust characteristics, filtration performance, and application-specific decolourising capacity.
Iodine number and surface area help compare grades, but neither alone predicts performance for every contaminant. Evaluate the offered carbon using the actual treatment stream and required product quality.
Black Activated Carbon Price & Bulk Supply Support
Black Activated Carbon price depends on feedstock, grade, adsorption specifications, washing treatment, particle size, order quantity, packaging, and delivery destination.
Chemical Bull supports specification matching, bulk and repeat procurement enquiries, packing confirmation, domestic dispatch planning, and export coordination. Buyers can request COA, TDS, MSDS or SDS, and relevant application documentation for the offered grade. Availability, lead time, and commercial terms are confirmed during quotation.
Black Activated Carbon MSDS & Handling
Chemical Bull provides Black Activated Carbon MSDS or SDS on request for the offered grade. Avoid generating or inhaling dust. Use suitable dust extraction, protective gloves, safety goggles, and respiratory protection according to the SDS and workplace assessment.
Store in closed packaging in a dry area, protected from contamination and incompatible materials. Control ignition sources and follow the supplied precautions for carbon dust, fire hazards, and storage conditions.
Wet activated carbon can reduce oxygen levels in enclosed spaces. Follow appropriate confined-space procedures before entering vessels containing carbon. Spent carbon must be handled according to the contaminants it has adsorbed.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Black Activated Carbon?
It is a black, porous carbon adsorbent used in selected liquid and gas purification applications. “Black” describes appearance and does not establish a specific technical grade.
-
What is the CAS number of Black Activated Carbon?
Activated carbon is commonly identified by CAS number 7440-44-0. Check the offered SDS for its identity, composition, and any additional constituents.
-
Is Black Activated Carbon the same as carbon black?
No. Activated carbon is selected primarily for adsorption and purification. Carbon black is a different industrial material commonly used for reinforcement, pigmentation, and selected conductive applications.
-
Which activated carbon form should buyers select?
Select powder, granules, or pellets according to the treatment stream, equipment, target contaminants, contact time, and separation requirements. Compare application performance as well as the technical specification.
-
