It appears as black amorphous powder, granules or columns, odorless and tasteless. It features a highly developed pore structure and a large specific surface area (500–1500 m²/g), with extremely strong adsorption capacity. It is chemically stable, resistant to acids and alkalis, and can react with strong oxidants at high temperatures.
