Activated carbon is a highly effective material for the purification of alcohol. It works by adsorbing impurities and contaminants present in the alcohol, leaving a pure and clean final product.
During the alcohol purification process, the activated carbon is typically contained in a filter cartridge or column. The alcohol is passed through the activated carbon, and as it moves through the material, impurities and contaminants are trapped and adsorbed by the activated carbon.
Activated carbon is especially effective at removing color, odor, and taste from alcohol, making it an ideal material for the production of high-quality spirits, such as vodka and gin.
In addition to its effectiveness in alcohol purification, activated carbon is also a widely used material in a variety of other industries, including water treatment, air purification, and pharmaceuticals. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a valuable resource in many applications.
Activated carbon, is a specially treated carbon that heats organic raw materials (rice husks, coal, wood, etc.) in the absence of air to reduce non-carbon components (this process is called carbonization), and then Reacting with the gas, the surface is corroded to produce a microporous structure (this process is called activation).
Because the activation process is a microscopic process, that is, the surface erosion of a large number of molecular carbides is point erosion, resulting in numerous small pores on the surface of activated carbon.
The diameter of micropores on the surface of activated carbon is mostly between 2-50nm. Even a small amount of activated carbon has a huge surface area.
The surface area per gram of activated carbon is 500-1500m2.
Almost all applications of activated carbon are based on this characteristic of activated carbon.
Activated carbon is divided into granular activated carbon (GAC), powdered activated carbon (PAC), extruded activated carbon (EAC,Extruded activated carbon is a highly adapted form of activated carbon used mainly for water, air, alcohol and other liquid filtration.
This type of activated carbon is created by extruding together small particles of activated carbon into a block-like form.
An extrusion process is used to create extremely porous channels, providing greater surface area for better removal of contaminants.
These properties enable it to effectively remove contaminants such as heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other water toxins.), impregnated carbon, etc.
Activated carbon is used in air purification, gold purification, water purification, sewage treatment, and many other applications
