Carbon Activated Granular LR (Carbon Black)

Carbon Activated Granular LR is a laboratory reagent supplied as a black, odourless crystalline solid. It is also known as activated carbon, activated charcoal, or carbon activated granular laboratory reagent grade. 

Available in both 500g and 5kg net weight options, this material offers flexibility for laboratories and industrial users requiring different batch sizes of high-quality activated carbon.

Applications & Uses

This granular carbon is widely used for decolourising sugar, purifying water and air, solvent recovery, and waste treatment. It plays a key role in the removal of sulphur dioxide from stack gases, deodorisation in clean rooms, and the elimination of jet fumes in airport environments.

It is also useful in catalyst support, natural gas purification, brewing, chromium electroplating, and air conditioning systems.

Safety & Handling

Classified as non-hazardous and not dangerous goods under the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG) and Globally Harmonised System (GHS), this product is safe for laboratory handling when used correctly.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and oxidising agents. Keep containers sealed, as activated carbon may ignite in confined, hot, or wet conditions.

Physical Properties & Identification

The substance appears as a solid black crystalline material with no discernible odour. It has a molecular weight of 12.01 and is identified under CAS Number 7440-44-0. The product is not scheduled as a poison under Australian regulations.

Environmental & Disposal Guidelines

Dispose of waste according to local and national regulations. Keep chemicals in original containers and never release them into drains or waterways. Use approved waste treatment facilities for activated carbon.
