Activated Carbon Media For Water Treatment

Due to its high degree of microporosity one gram of activated carbon has a surface area in excess of 3 000 m 2 32 000 sq ft as determined by gas adsorption.

Activated carbon media for water treatment. The first use of granular activated carbon gac for taste and odor removal from drinking water in the early 1960s. As a specialist in water and air purification treatment industry for over 20 years shanxi global is located in jincheng city shanxi province which is the largest anthracite coal production area of china based on this raw materials location advantage now our delivery capacity per month has reached 2000 tons anthracite filter media 600 tons coal based activated carbon 1000 tons zeolite. The original evaporative loss control device elcd application in the early 1970s. Eliminating organics in potable water such as humic and fulvic acid prevents chlorine in the water from chemically reacting with the acids and forming trihalomethanes a.

Activated carbon filters are generally employed in the process of removing organic compounds and or extracting free chlorine from water thereby making the water suitable for discharge or use in manufacturing processes. In this century we launched fluepac powdered activated carbon for treatment of mercury in flue gas streams from coal fired electric power plants. Designing an activated carbon filtration system needs to take into account the differences in the water to be treated the type of activated carbon used and the effluent quality and operating parameters. Activated carbon with particle size less than 1 mm would not be suitable for elution the stripping of mineral from an activated carbon.

Activated is sometimes substituted with active. Activated carbon is a proven technology for the removal of naturally occurring organics and residual disinfectants. The coconut shell provides a superior level of hardness and also rids water of sediment sand silt rust chlorine taste absorbs trihalomethanes and extends life of equipment. Granular activated carbon can be used in a filter bed or media through which water passes or powdered activated carbon can be fed into the treatment train and removed along with other solids present from the water treatment.
