Classification and Functions of Activated Carbon

Introduction to Activated Carbon

Activated carbon is a specially treated carbon material with a rich pore structure that can effectively adsorb impurities in water and is one of the key materials in the water treatment process.

Classification of Activated Carbon

Classification by raw materials:

- Coal-based activated carbon: Made from anthracite, it features high strength and moderate price.

- Wood-based activated carbon: Produced from wood, coconut shells, etc., it has well-developed pores and excellent adsorption performance.

- Fruit shell activated carbon: Made from coconut shells, peach pits, etc., it has strong adsorption capacity.

Classification by shape:

Granular activated carbon: used in filtration devices

Powdered activated carbon: used in dosing treatment

Activated carbon fiber: used in special treatment processes

Activated carbon blocks/briquettes: used in small-scale filtration equipment

By application:

Water treatment activated carbon

Air purification activated carbon

Food-grade activated carbon

Industrial activated carbon

The Role of Activated Carbon in Water Treatment

1. Removal of Organic Matter

Effectively adsorb organic pollutants in water, improving water color and odor.

2. Adsorption of Residual Chlorine

Remove residual chlorine from tap water to protect subsequent treatment equipment.

3. Purifying Water Quality

Adsorbing some heavy metal ions, pesticide residues and other harmful substances

4. Improve Taste

Remove unpleasant odors and make drinking water clearer and more palatable.
