Technologies/Solutions:
Activated Carbon and ion exchange resins are used in the liquid phase to eliminate color and impurities in intermediates and final products of pharmaceutical companies. Typical pharmaceutical applications include the purification and recovery of:
- Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)
- Antibiotics
- Pain killers
- Pharmaceutical intermediates
- Steroids
- Vitamins – also for recovery in fermentation
- Contrast media in medical imaging
- Intravenous solutions
- Pharma Amino Acids
- CBD oil extracts for therapeutic use
Additionally, wastewater is often treated with activated carbon to remove residual organics before being discharged to national surface waterways. In order to remove trace impurities, incoming process water is commonly treated with activated carbon.
