Granular Activated Carbon

A highly developed porous structure results in an enormous internal surface area, often over (1000) (m2/g), which is crucial for its function as an adsorbent.High adsorption capacity: The large surface area allows it to effectively adsorb a wide range of contaminants from both liquid and gaseous environments.Porous structure: It features a complex network of microscopic pores, which can be micro-, meso-, or macroporous depending on the type and application.Chemical inertness: It is chemically stable and has low acid/base reactivity, making it suitable for use in various chemical processes.Mechanical strength: Activated carbon possesses high hardness and durability, which helps it resist crushing and abrasion, especially in granular forms.Purity: High-purity grades are available, with low ash content, making them suitable for sensitive applications like food and medical use.Versatile formats: It is available in various forms, including granular, powdered, and pelletized, allowing for a wide range of applications.Reactivatable: In many industrial processes, activated carbon can be regenerated and reactivated, which can provide cost savings compared to continuous replacement.

Application of Activated carbon

Different types of activated carbon are suited for various specialized applications.Granulated activated carbon

• Pelletized activated carbon

• Powdered activated carbon

• Impregnated activated carbon

• Catalytic activated carbon

Each grade and size of activated carbon is application specific. Selecting the correct activated carbon product and mesh size depends on the application and contaminants you plan to remove.

Typical applications are:

• Removal of volatile organic compounds such as Benzene, TCE, and PCE.

• Hydrogen Sulfide (HS) and removal of waste gases

• Impregnated activated carbon used as a bacteria inhibitor in drinking water filters

• Removal of taste and odor causing compounds such as MIB and geosmin

• Recovery of gold

• Removal of chlorine and chloramine

Designing a proper activated carbon filtration system with enough contact time, pressure drop, and vessel size is important. Also, activated carbon’s physical and chemical characteristics play an important role in removing contaminants effectively. Therefore, material testing is essential and ASTM test methods such as butane activity, surface area, density, and water content (moisture) can be carried out to find the best suitable material for your application.
