Premium Framed Print : Powdered charcoal
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Powdered charcoal
Powdered charcoal. Charcoal is an amorphous form of carbon produced from burning wood in little or no oxygen. Charcoal can also be obtained from other substances, for example bones. Because it is porous, powdered charcoal is used in chemistry for the adsorption of gases and solids. Adsorption is the attachment of atoms or molecules of one substance to the surface of a solid or liquid of another substance. Charcoal is used in purification, for example of water; for drying of gases and as a filter in gas masks

Carbon Charcoal Dish Glass Powder Powdered Purification Purifying
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of powdered charcoal. Charcoal, an amorphous form of carbon derived from burning wood or even bones, is a versatile substance with numerous applications. In chemistry, its porous nature makes it ideal for adsorbing gases and solids through a process called adsorption - where atoms or molecules attach themselves to the surface of another substance. The image captures a glass dish filled with this fine black powder, exuding an air of scientific intrigue. The texture appears velvety and smooth, inviting us to explore its purifying properties further. Indeed, charcoal plays a crucial role in purification processes such as water treatment and gas drying. Its ability to filter impurities makes it invaluable in these contexts. As we gaze at this mesmerizing photograph, we are reminded that science often uncovers hidden wonders within seemingly mundane materials. This simple yet profound image encourages us to appreciate the power of chemistry and its impact on our daily lives.
