Application Of Activated Carbon

 Activated carbon at Karbonous Inc keeps on gaining popularity as a result of their comparative benefits over traditional powdered or granular versions of this well-known adsorbent, opening up new possibilities for technical advancements in a variety of areas. From a number of activated carbon applications, some common applications are discussed below.

Air Purification Solutions – Gas Cleaning Using Activated Carbon

Regular and irregular shaped activated carbons are used in gas cleaning along with several other uses. Cylindrical-shaped carbons are preferably used because these usually have a lower flow resistance and a better abrasion hardness than broken coals.

The uses of granular activated carbons in the field of gas and exhaust air cleaning are diverse; for instance, recovery of solvents, e.g., in gravure printing, with coatings as well as in the packaging, food, and chemical industries.

• Natural gas purification; Removal of Hg, H2, & BTX
• Exhaust gas cleaning after waste incineration plants for removal of dioxins and heavy metals
• Exhaust air purification after production processes to remove organic impurities
• Purification of process gases, e.g., CO2 purification and compressed air cooling
• Removal of pollutants in air conditioning systems as well as in loading and ventilation systems
• Removal of odorous substances in kitchen extractor hoods and refrigerator filters.
• Avoidance of emissions, e.g., in bottling plants, tank breathing in cars, and industries
• Removal of pollutants in car interior ventilation
• For respirators
• For cigar and cigarette filters
• As a carrier material for special impregnations or catalysts

Water Purification – Activated Carbon Application

In water purification, depending on the area of application and process powdery (stir-in process) or granular activated carbons (Fixed bed process), activated carbon for drinking water purification has changed significantly over the decades. In the past, the field of drinking water treatment was the removal of excess chlorine and the elimination of flavors and odors from relatively good raw water underground. Precisely, activated carbon is the best agent for VOC removal and odor control. However, the ever more stringent quality requirements for drinking water combined with increasing pollution of the raw water (ground and surface water) led to the optimization of activated carbon to ensure perfect drinking water quality.
In recent years, the use of activated carbons has increased in drinking water treatment, remediation of groundwater, and further developed in industrial water treatment using municipal ground water filter systems in CA, USA. Activated carbon is also increasingly used for wastewater treatment required, be it for the targeted treatment of individual wastewater streams, such as in the chemical industry, for the removal of bacteria toxic substances to protect biological wastewater, or for post-cleaning of the already treated wastewater. Another area of application for activated carbon is the landfill gas emissions.
