Performance of Activated Carbon and Application in Pharmaceutical Production

OBJECTIVE To understand the performance of activated carbon,master its usage and dosage,and apply reasonably to pharmaceutical production in order to improve the quality of preparation.METHODS The raw materials,preparation methods,quality standards of activated carbon and the application in pharmaceutical production are reviewed.RESULTS Activated carbons is used to eliminate pyrogen and impurity in pharmaceutical production for its high surface area,high micropore volume,good stability and strong absorption capacity.CONCLUSION Many factors and optimum technology should be considered in order for activated carbon to play a significant role in pharmaceutical production.
