Activated Carbon is the general name assigned for a group of porous carbons. The appearance of activated Carbon depends considerably on the process used for the activation of Carbon. The product is typically charcoal black with varying mesh sizes.

Zeolite is a microporous aluminosilicate substance that can be found in nature but can also be industrially produced. The industrially important zeolite compounds are synthetically produced. Silica and alumina are the two main basic materials used in Zeolite production. Its chemical formula is represented as Ca4.5Na3[(AlO2)12(SiO2)]. X H2O.

Xanthan Gum is an extracellular polysaccharide used in food processing. It is a good additive that can be used for different kinds of food. The chemical is made through the process of bacterial fermentation. At the same time, it can also be extracted from plants. Commercial Xanthan Gum is mostly produced using the fermentation process. Carbohydrate sources such as corn starch and Xanthomonas Campestri- which is a naturally occurring bacterium on green vegetable surface are the major constituents. The two at then fermented and purified using isopropanol or ethanol. The molecular formula of Xanthan Gum is represented as (C35H49O29)n.

Triethanolamine 85% (TEA 85%) is a colorless to yellow liquid. It is completely soluble in water, also soluble in ethanol, acetone, glycerine, and ethylene glycol. It has an ammonia like smell.
