Applications
Water Treatment
Chemically activated carbon is very effective for any kind of water treatment process and also removes compounds or materials that interfere with taste and odor of drinking water or wastewater. The iodine value (1200-1300 mg/g) and low ash content (＜5%) allows for the use of chemically activated carbon in advanced treatment applications, which are installed either in industrial plants or municipal water systems.
Gas Treatment
Chemically activated carbon in gas treatment systems is also efficient for its ability to remove harmful substances and odor from industrial emissions. High CTC adsorption (80-100%) with respect to pollution control and climate action in workplaces integrity, health and wellness steps up from air quality produced by a variety of industries
Food Industry
In the food industry, chemically activated carbon represents a significant importance in food processing applications such as decolorizing, purifying and removing unwanted impurities. A high methylene blue adsorption (200-230 mg/g) also engages another dimension of food quality that can be used in producing sugar and beverages because taste and appearance is very important to consumers.
Pharmaceutical Applications
One application of the pharmaceutical industry includes chemically activated carbon purifying the medicines and removing toxins for pharmaceuticals. The values in pH (3-8) and high surface area (1200-1300 m2/g) establish a standard in producing high quality pharmaceutical products and certain treatment procedures.
