The activated carbon has an important role in the public water purification. It is absolutely necessary in the removal of the taste and odor caused by the substances MIB (Methylisoborneol) and Geosmin, which are produced by the blue-green algae.
Besides, the activated carbon removes organic compounds, phenolics and all the substances that decrease the water quality, for instance, pesticides, micropolluents; it can also work as bacteria and virus blocks.
Activated carbon may be useful for the pretreatment of the water used in the food and beverage industry as well as in the pharmaceutical and in the reverse osmosis industry.

The activated carbon can be used in the wastewater purification, in the removal of substances like naphtalenes, dodecylbenzene, sulfonate, benzene and phenol.
When it is mixed with bioactive mud, it provides a better stability for the process and reduces the development of foam and improves the mud characteristics.

What really matters for the food industry is to have a good look, a good odor and besides a great taste. Therefore, the activated carbon has an important usefulness for this industry, since it causes the adsorption of the molecules responsable for the bad taste, odor and color.
Some application include:
- Liquid Sugar: to remove color and to improve the sensorial characteristics.
- Alcoholic Beverage: to remove color and other compounds like amilic alcohol and aldehydes. It also improves the sensorial characteristics of the beer, wine, whisky, rum, vodka, brandy etc.
- Glycerin: to remove taste and color.
- Decaffeination: in the adsorption and in the caffeine separation which can be purified and used in food or pharmaceutical industry.
- Fruit juices: to remove colored polyphenols, dark melanoidins, bad taste, color precursors that appear during the process, and to remove pesticide and deposited fungicides.
- Citric Acid: to remove color.
- Sugar Cane: to remove color before the crystallization and to remove other impurities like amino acids and polysaccharides.
- Hydrolyzed Starch: in the purification and in the color removal of glucose, fructose, maltose, dextrose and maltodextrin.
- Grease and Comestible Oil: to remove color of palmetto, coconut, sunflower and soil oils and in addition in the removal of hydrocarbons aromatics polyciclicos.
- Flavor control: to remove color of vegetal proteins and in the glutamate purification.
