SURSORB Ultra is a high surface area activated carbon sphere (ACS), manufactured from polymeric precursors. It has better compressive strength and minimal ash content. Activated carbon spheres produced using these processes have been successfully utilized as adsorbent materials. It is used for removing heavy metals, organic dye, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic chemicals. It also acts as a support for catalysts and is used for gas and energy storage and in chemical protective clothing. The high mechanical strength of Activated Carbon Sphere (ACS) makes them attractive to use in NBC suits, jackets, gloves, and masks.
