Activated Charcoal Powder
Activated Charcoal Powder (Product Code: SCL-749/119) is a black carbon powder of analytical reagent grade used for adsorption experiments and for decolourising solutions in school and college chemistry laboratories. It comes in a 200 gm pack supplied with its MSDS, and its porous structure holds dyes, coloured impurities and odour molecules on a very large internal surface. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Activated Charcoal Powder Used For?
A simple adsorption demonstration uses two beakers of the same dilute coloured solution. Students add a spatula of activated charcoal to one, stir or shake for a few minutes and filter both: the treated filtrate comes through noticeably paler, while the control keeps its colour. Varying the amount of charcoal or the contact time turns the demonstration into an investigation. In purification work the powder is added in small portions to a hot solution of a crude solid, boiled briefly and filtered off while hot, so the coloured impurities stay on the carbon and cleaner crystals form as the filtrate cools.
The powder is light and dusty, so open the container slowly and transfer it with a spatula rather than pouring. Close the lid straight after use, because the carbon takes up moisture and vapours from the air, which lowers its adsorbing capacity. It is a staple of senior-secondary surface chemistry practicals and cleans off benches easily with a damp cloth.

Related Chemistry Lab Equipment
An adsorption or decolourising practical also needs filtration and transfer equipment. Useful companions:
- Filter Paper — removes the spent charcoal from the solution.
- Funnel — holds the filter paper over the receiving beaker.
- Spatula, Spoon End — measures out small portions of powder without spills.
- Porcelain Dish (China Dish) — for evaporating the clear filtrate to recover crystals.
- Activated Carbon — another activated carbon listing in our general laboratory range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What quantity of Activated Charcoal Powder is in one pack?
Each pack contains 200 gm of Activated Charcoal Powder, listed as analytical reagent grade and supplied with its MSDS. Tell us how many packs your laboratory needs when you request a quotation, and add filtration items if required.
Is Activated Charcoal Powder the same as a charcoal block?
No. A Charcoal Block is a solid piece of natural charcoal used as a working surface, for example for soldering, while Activated Charcoal Powder is a loose adsorbent meant for adsorption and decolourising work in solutions.
How much Activated Charcoal Powder should be added to a solution?
Add Activated Charcoal Powder in small portions as your lab manual directs. Too much charcoal can also hold back some of the product you want to recover, so add it gradually and filter it off while the solution is still hot.
Can used Activated Charcoal Powder be reused?
For teaching work, use a fresh portion of Activated Charcoal Powder each time, because spent charcoal already carries the adsorbed substances. Dispose of the used powder according to your laboratory's waste rules.
What is the shelf life of Activated Charcoal Powder?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no single expiry period is given for Activated Charcoal Powder. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the pack tightly closed in a dry place away from strong oxidising agents.
Who supplies Activated Charcoal Powder?
Activated Charcoal Powder is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets. Share quantities and destination through our contact page for a quotation.
