Advanced Forms of Activated Carbon

Sandia’s advanced activated carbon is used for the adsorption of noble gases (argon, krypton, and xenon) for the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. This solution is simple, reliable, and affordable. This development is safer due to the fire hazards associated with traditional activated carbonbeing significantly reduced. Activated carbon adsorbers have numerous industrial applications including chemical, petrochemical, environmental engineering, nuclear, military, and specialist extraction. In these industries, the activated carbon is used to control emissions of solvents, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals, with the reduced risk of spontaneous ignition and fire hazards.
