The carbon‐based material is converted to activated carbon by thermal decomposition in a furnace using a controlled atmosphere and heat. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe activation process dramatically increases the surface area per unit volume and produces a network of sub microscopic pores where absorption takes place.

Carbons highly porous nature provides a large surface area for contaminants to collect. The physical absorption accurse because all molecules exert \u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003eattractive forces. The surface molecules of the carbon attract the molecules dissolved in the water by surface attractive forces similar to gravitational forces. \u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003eWater contaminants absorb because the attraction of the carbon surface for them is stronger than the attraction forces that keep them in solution. \u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"\u003eBesides physical\nabsorption, chemical reactions also occur on the carbon surface.

When the available absorption sites are “taken” then the contaminants just pass through untouched.
