Carbon is one of the most versatile chemical elements in the universe. It can exist in a variety of allotropes and isotopes, making it very useful to metallurgists, scientists working in organic chemistry, and others.
Its Physical & Chemical Properties
In its crystalline state, carbon is found as graphite (soft, black scales), and diamond, which is very hard. It also occurs as a special man-made, tube-shaped allotrope called fullerenes.
It can form very long chains of C-C bonds, which make up the bulk of organic compounds that make up everything from plants and animals to equipment. It has seven isotopes, including carbon-14, which is used to date fossils, bones, and other material.
Isotopes are important for predicting the age of things. They allow scientists to know the age of items that they find, and forensics can use them to determine when something happened.
Its Allotropes
Carbon has three naturally occurring allotropes, including graphite, diamond, and fullerenes. These can be used to make tools, such as pencils, or for a wide range of industrial applications.
Activated Carbons
Activated carbon is used for water treatment, deodourisation and separation of components in flow systems. It is available as powder or granulated. Its adsorption capacity depends on its particle size and surface area, which in turn is affected by the rate of diffusion. Activated carbons are a great choice for water treatment and deodourisation. They are also a good choice for adsorption of gases and vapours.
