200 Mesh Wood Based Powder Activated Carbon for Herbal Extract Clarification
Product Introduction
Wood-based powdered activated carbon is specifically developed for the clarification, purification, and decolorization of herbal and plant extracts. It effectively removes pigments, tannins, resins, and other organic impurities that affect the color, taste, and stability of herbal extracts. Manufactured from selected natural wood materials under precisely controlled carbonization and activation conditions, this activated carbon provides an ideal pore structure and high surface area for liquid-phase adsorption processes used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and botanical extract industries.
