In order to satisfactorily fulfill their curative function, the manufacture of most medicines involves purification processes intended to eliminate all traces of other products either in liquid phase (the active principle itself) or in gas phases (clean rooms).
Like the agro-foods and chemical industries, the pharmaceutical industry also utilizes activated carbons to eliminate impurities and by-products originating from chemical reactions required for the manufacture of multiple products: active ingredients, antibiotics, vitamins, enzymes, contrast agents, etc. The cosmetics industry is also directly concerned.
