Powdered activated carbon(PAC) is made from organic materials with high carbon contents such as wood, lignite and coal. PAC typically has a diameter less than 0.1 mm and an apparent density ranging between 23 and 46 lb/ft3, depending on the material used and manufacturing process. Iodine and molasses numbers are typically used to characterize PAC. These numbers describe the quantity of small and large pore volumes in a sample of PAC.
