Activated Carbon: The Versatile Chemical Raw Material Revolution
Carbontech is a leading manufacturer of activated carbon which stands at the forefront of chemical raw materials, revolutionizing industries with its remarkable properties and diverse applications. As a leader in this field, Carbontech offers a wide range of high-quality activated carbon products that cater to various industrial needs.
Understanding Activated Carbon
Activated carbon is a special form of carbon with a large surface area and microporous structure. Its high adsorption capacity allows it to effectively retain organic substances, volatile compounds, pollutants, and toxins. This versatility makes it indispensable in water purification, air filtration, and numerous chemical processes.
Types of Activated Carbon
Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC)
Granular activated carbon is obtained by activating natural or synthetic carbon materials at high temperatures and converting them into small granules. It boasts high adsorption capacity, long service life, and is widely used in water purification and industrial applications.
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
Powdered activated carbon offers a larger surface area than its granular counterpart, making it highly effective for water, air, and food purification. It's cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and easy to use.
Pellet Activated Carbon
Pellet activated carbon comes in small, round, or cylindrical pellets. It offers similar benefits to GAC but with lower pressure drop, higher mechanical resistance, and better handling properties.
Comparison of Activated Carbon Types
Specialized Activated Carbon Products
Impregnated Activated Carbon
Impregnated activated carbon is designed for specific functions, such as air filtration and respiratory protection. It's used in household water filtration, nuclear air purification, and military NBC filters.
Silver-Impregnated Carbon
Silver-impregnated carbon inhibits bacterial growth and eliminates unpleasant tastes and odors in water. It's certified by the US Water Quality Association and available in different silver concentrations.
Acid-Washed Carbon
Acid-washed carbon is processed to remove impurities and surface dust, resulting in a lower pH value and dust-free pure coal. It's primarily used in household water filters, soft drinks, and the pharmaceutical industry.
Key Features of Acid-Washed Carbon
- Iodine Value: 1050 mg/g (Min)
- CTC: 60% (Min)
- Ash Content: 2% (Max)
- Moisture: 5% (Max)
- Bulk Density: 0.47 ± 0.02 g/cc
- pH Range: 6.5-8
Activated Carbon in Water Treatment
Carbon Blocks
Carbon blocks are made from coconut-based activated carbon with large surface area and high adsorption capacity. They're effective in removing chlorine, bad tastes, odors, and organic chemicals, making them suitable for residential and commercial water treatment applications.
Iron Removal Carbon (IRC)
Iron Removal Carbon is specially designed to oxidize soluble Fe2+ in water and convert it to Fe3+, enabling the precipitation of iron compounds. It's an essential component in water filtration systems targeting iron contamination.
Water Purification Filters
Water purification filters come in various types, including Carbon Filters (CTO Block and GAC), Rope Filters, and Spun Filters. These filters are available in both coal-based and coconut-based versions, catering to different filtration needs and capacities.
Choosing the Right Activated Carbon
Selecting the appropriate activated carbon product depends on your specific application and requirements. Factors to consider include:
- Adsorption capacity
- Particle size
- Surface area
- Pore structure
