Applications
Water Treatment
Description: Wood based activated carbon is exceptionally efficient in treating water; also, removing organic compounds and other components from potable water and wastewater which has made it a popular material. Its high iodine value (950-1300 mg/g) and low ash content (<5%) makes it especially attractive for a wide variety of water treatment applications in both municipal and industrial use.
Gas Treatment
Description: In processes involving gas treatment, wood based activated carbon is practically the most effective medium to remove harmful contaminants and odours from emissions, and for use in indoor air applications. The ability to remove approximately 60-100% via CTC adsorption is a sizeable contribution to pollution control and air quality upgrades for a number of industrial and commercial situations.
Food Industry
Wood based activated carbon is prominent in food processing. Its decolourising, purifying, and impurity removing characteristics lends peace-of-mind when processing food products. Its methylene blue adsorption value (160-230 mg/g) helped produce sugar and beverage products that are more aesthetically pleasing in taste and appearance.
Pharmaceutical Applications
The pharmaceutical industry makes substantial use of wood based activated carbon to purify medicines, and to remove toxins. The fact that it possesses a custom pH value (3-8), and has surface area values between 950-1300 m2/g make activated carbon nearly essential to producing quality pharmaceutical products, and medical applications.
