Application of Activated Carbon
|
| |
| Activated carbon has small and low volume pores that increase the surface area for adsorption and chemical reactions. Due to its high degree of microporosity, activated carbon is used in a broad range of applications: |
| |
|
1
|
|
| Municipal Water Treatment |
| Removal of harmful contaminants, removal of oxidising agent used during water purification process and conservation of water resources. |
|
|
| |
|
2
|
|
| Environmental Water Treatment |
| Avoid leaching of organic contaminants to ground water and removal of organic compounds from remediated waste water. |
|
|

|
|
| Environmental Air Treatment |
| Purification of gas treatment liquid, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal, mercury control, odour control and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) removal. |
