What is Activated Carbon?
Activated carbon is a type of carbon that has been processed to increase its surface area and porosity. This makes it an effective adsorbent, meaning it can attract and hold other molecules on its surface. Activated carbon is used in a variety of applications, including water purification, air purification, and odor control. It is a very economical solution for different industries because it' s easy to source and can be formed from a base material that' s either wood, coal, or coconut shells. Each base material may offer a slightly different product, but it will generally function identically in different applications.
Applications of Activated Carbon
Activated carbon is a highly porous material that is used to remove contaminants from water, air, and other liquids and gases.
1. Air purification
2. Sewage farm exhaust adsorption
3. Potable water treatment
4. Power plant water pretreatment
5. Waste water recycling treatment before
6. Biological wastewater treatment
7. Toxic waste water treatment
8. Solvent recovery (because of the activated carbon adsorption of organic solvents)
9. Chemical storage exhaust purification
10. Automobile tail gas purification
11. Gas separation
Types of Activated Carbon
Columnar Activated Carbon
Widely used in solvent recovery, industrial waste gas purification, protective equipment, home decoration air purification, power plant raw water purification, pure water treatment, power plant raw water treatment, electronic plant water treatment, chemical pigment water treatment, food and pharmaceutical plant water treatment, as well as sewage plant biological carriers, waste gas treatment in factories and garbage disposal sites, reclaimed water reuse, seawater aquaculture and seedling breeding, etc. It can also be used in pure water manufacturing, sewage treatment, sewage biological carriers Used in marine aquaculture, as well as cold storage preservation, factory air purification, and other fields.
Granular Activated Carbon
Suitable for the purification of raw water in power plants, especially in the filtration and purification treatment of chemical wastewater, as well as the chlorine treatment of brackish water in power plant boilers, it has good treatment effects. There are also projects such as decolorization of beverages, distilleries, monosodium glutamate, and food in the food industry, as well as gold extraction in the gold industry.
Powdered Activated Carbon
Widely used in industries such as food, beverage, medicine, tap water, sugar, oil, etc. Mainly suitable for the purification treatment of various beverages such as cola, fruit juice, alcohol, and drinking water, and also used in toothpaste. It is also widely used in fields such as brewing, sewage treatment, power plants, electroplating, etc.
Activated carbon materials have specific effects on chemical industry due to their unique structure, but there may also be differences between different materials and pore sizes. Contact us and we will provide you with products that are more suitable for you.
