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. |
|
|
|
3
|
|
Environmental Air Treatment |
Purification of gas treatment liquid, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal, mercury control, odour control and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) removal. |
|
|
|
4
|
|
Food & Beverages |
Deodorization, decolourization, purification and stabilization in food application. |
|
|
|
5
|
|
Industrial Process |
Removal of trace impurities from chemicals and solvents, carrier for catalytic metal. |
