I-oal esekwe kwikhabhoni esebenzayo iphuhliswa ngothotho lweenkqubo ezinje ngecarbonization, ukupholisa, ukwenza kusebenze, kunye nokuhlamba. Inkangeleko yayo ngokuqhelekileyo imnyama cylindrical activated carbon, amorphous coal particle activated carbon, eyaziwa ngokuba yikhabhoni etyumkileyo. I-Cylindrical activated carbon, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-columnar carbon, ngokuqhelekileyo yenziwe ngemathiriyeli ekrwada yomgubo kunye nezibophelelo, ezixutywe, zikhutshiwe, emva koko zenziwe ngekhabhoni, zisebenze, kunye nezinye iinkqubo. Isenokukhutshelwa kusetyenziswa umgubo wekhabhoni esebenzayo kunye nesibophelelo. Iphuhlise ubume be-pore, ukusebenza kakuhle kwe-adsorption, amandla aphezulu omatshini, kulula ukuyihlaziya, kunye neendleko eziphantsi; Isetyenziselwa ukucocwa kweegesi ezinetyhefu, unyango lwerhasi yenkunkuma, unyango lokucocwa kwamanzi kwimizi-mveliso kunye nekhaya, ukubuyiswa kwe-solvent, kunye neminye imiba.
