[News & Trends]:Activated carbon driving waste purification

Activated carbon, as an important adsorbent, plays an important role in waste purification. Activated carbon has two main forms, namely powder and granular. This article will introduce the differences between activated carbon powder and granular form, and focus on discussing their applications in waste purification


Activated carbon powder refers to activated carbon particles with a particle size less than 0.1mm. Due to its smaller particle size, activated carbon powder has a larger specific surface area, which is beneficial for the adsorption and removal of organic substances in waste. Activated carbon powder is commonly used in fields such as wastewater treatment and air purification. It can come into contact with wastewater or exhaust gas through spraying, stirring, and other methods to adsorb organic substances, thereby achieving the goal of purification


Activated carbon particles refer to those with larger particle sizes. Due to its larger particle size, activated carbon particles have a smaller specific surface area, but also better mechanical strength and longer service life. Activated carbon particles are commonly used in fields such as waste gas treatment, water treatment, and soil remediation. It can come into contact with exhaust gas, wastewater, or soil by filling the bed layer, making filter materials, etc., adsorbing pollutants such as organic matter and heavy metals, and playing a role in purifying and removing pollutants


Although activated carbon powder and granular form differ in morphology and application, they both have excellent adsorption performance and treatment effect. The main function of activated carbon is to adsorb harmful substances from waste onto its surface through mechanisms such as physical adsorption and chemical adsorption, thereby achieving purification and removal of harmful substances. The adsorption capacity of activated carbon is mainly influenced by factors such as specific surface area, pore size distribution, and surface functional groups


In terms of waste purification, activated carbon powder and granular form have a wide range of applications. Activated carbon powder is suitable for scenarios with small volume and large contact area requirements, such as wastewater treatment, air purification, etc. Activated carbon particles are suitable for scenarios with large volume and high physical strength requirements, such as waste gas treatment, water treatment, and soil remediation. According to the specific waste situation and treatment needs, suitable forms and specifications of activated carbon can be selected for treatment


In short, activated carbon powder and granular form are important waste purification materials. They play important roles in their respective fields by adsorbing and removing harmful substances from waste, protecting the environment, purifying air and water quality. In the future development of environmental protection, activated carbon will continue to play an important role and play a positive role in waste purification and treatment.
