Biochar
Activated carbon has special properties that allow it to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and other gaseous pollutants from the air. It accomplishes this in a way that is different from other air purifiers like HEPA that only filter particle pollution from the air. Air pollution gives impacts to human’s health which is caused by the harmful gas components contained in smokes, such as CO, NOx , SOx , and aldehyde. CO, NOx , SOx are also abundant in off gas produced by oil refinery units. One of the innovations that could solve the problem is by using activated carbon and biochar as an adsorbent.

Two of biochar’s key properties are its low thermal conductivity and its ability to absorb water up to 5 times its weight. These properties mean that biochar is just the right material for insulating buildings and regulating humidity. In combination with clay, but also with lime and cement mortar, biochar can be used as an additive for plaster or for bricks and concrete elements at a ratio of up to 80%.
INTHAKA INSTITUTE: BIOCHAR AS
Our products provide long lasting color and opacity in a wide range of polymers, including polyolefins and engineering thermoplastics. Additionally, many of our products have high levels of cleanliness to ensure the aesthetic quality of your final products.
Access to clean water can be a crucial issue for many rural communities in developing countries. For water treatment, contaminants diffuse into char pores (absorption) where they bind to char surfaces (adsorption). As noted, the large porosity and high surface area of biochars provide many reactive sites for the attachment of dissolved compounds. These reactive sites can also bind non-problematic dissolved organic matter present in all natural waters as well as the targeted hazardous contaminants.
