ACTIVATED CARBON – Activated Carbon is porous from of Carbon manufactured from internal surface area.
The porosity Creates a remarkable power of Adsorption, an indispensable Process in industrial separation.
Purification, decolonization & recovery technique. The Carbon atoms at the internal surface of Activated Carbon.
Exert an attraction ( Vendor waars force ) on the molecules of surrounding liquid & gas & fixes on to its pore walls.
This is the basis of mechanism whereby Activated Carbons may be used to remove one or more components from a mixture.
GRANULES – In GASPHASE adsorption, Granular Carbon is almost always used because the Pressure drop in the Carbon bed is of prime importance & Granular Carbon will allow sufficient flow with an acceptable pressure drop.
In LIQUID PHASE application both Granular & powered Carbon can be used .
DUE to SUPERIOR ADSORPTION HIGH DENSITY, LOW ATTRITION LOSS, use of Granules has resuited in increased service life, greater filter efficiency, fewer regeneration cycles & economy on Hardware costs.
Activated Carbon Granuces made from coconut shell charcoal is used when a single product or grade is being continuously treated in large quantities. Normally Granular Carbon can be regenerated which involves washing or burining off the impurities & restoring the pore structure.
SIEVE SIZE – ANY STANDARED SIEVE SIZE TO SUIT CUSTOMERS REQUIREMENT .
APPLICATION OF GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON
