| Application: | Activated charcoal may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of adsorbable organic halides (AOX) in: • Landfill leachates, glyphosate formulations, and treated wastewater by adsorption-pyrolysis-micr • Aqueous environmental samples by adsorption followed by combustion ion chromatography (CIC). • Surface water and wastewater samples by adsorption-pyrolysis followed by plasma emission spectrometric detection. |
| General description: | Activated charcoal is a black powder that is generally obtained by subjecting wood or other carbonaceous materials to pyrolysis process. |
