Specific Surface Area Activated Carbon In Water Treatment Clarification

Activated Carbon In Water Treatment / Specific Surface Area / Clarification

Application areas

Removal of organics: Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity and can effectively adsorb organics in water, such as pesticides and organic compounds in industrial wastewater. These organics are often difficult to remove through traditional water treatment processes, while activated carbon can effectively reduce their concentration.

Removal of colour and odour: Activated carbon also removes colour and odour from water, making it clearer and better tasting. This is essential for improving the quality of drinking water.

Removal of chlorine and chloramines: Chlorine or chloramines are often added to tap water to disinfect it, but these substances can produce unpleasant odours and tastes. Activated carbon effectively removes these disinfectant residues, resulting in purer water.

Heavy metal adsorption: activated carbon can also adsorb heavy metal ions in water, such as lead and mercury, thus reducing their potential harm to the human body.
