Wet charcoal (powdered activated carbon with added moisture)

Wet charcoal (wet carbon) is a product made by adding moisture to powdered activated carbon, typically to a water content of about 50%. The added water prevents the powder from scattering, which makes it easier to handle and manage. Wet charcoal is used in a variety of applications that take advantage of its adsorption performance. In the food industry, for example, it may be used to absorb off-odors and to improve water quality, and it is also expected to help with environmental purification and deodorizing. In sake production as well, it can be useful in the brewing process for improving the quality of the product.
