Hi
There are several ways to determine the quality of activated carbon in terms of absorbability of this material in m2/g (BET) or in mg /g of (iodine number) and others.
To find a quick relative information about the quality of this material you need to look for a simple and fast method.
Do Scientists Around the World Suggest a Simple and Valid Method?
Thank you Dr. Saeideh Ostovarpour for your attention to my question.
No, But is this a quick and easy way ?!
In disordered carbons, Raman may not be accurate especially as a measure of quality..
Taking a leaf from 'carbon black' industry, you can try OAN test, oil absorption number or use Dynamic Void Volume Analyzer

Hi Mr. Sridhar Vadahanambi and Saeideh Ostovarpour I am looking for a simple and inexpensive way to do this with basic and simple tools. As a result, expensive equipment is not available and is costly to test and This is one question about activated carbon for water treatment or air purification.
An innovative way to do this must be found.
