What is the role of Activated carbon in industry?

2024-02-19

Activated carbon is a porous material with a large number of micropores and pore structure. It can efficiently absorb impurities, organic matter and odors in liquids or gases and is used in water purification, air and exhaust gas treatment, as well as industrial applications such as decolorization, catalyst carriers and battery manufacturing.

 

What is the role of Activated carbon in industry

 

Activated carbon has many functions in industry, including:

 

1. Adsorption and filtration: Activated carbon has a large number of micropores and pore structures, which can efficiently adsorb and filter impurities, colors, odors and organic matter in liquids or gases, and is used to purify water, air and industrial wastewater treatment.

 

2. Removal of organic pollutants: Activated carbon can effectively remove organic pollutants in water, such as organic solvents, pesticide residues, pigments and organic waste, and is used to treat organic pollutants in industrial wastewater and water treatment processes.

 

3. Decolorizing agent: Activated carbon can remove color from liquids and is widely used in the decolorizing process in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry and cosmetics industry.

 

4. Catalyst carrier: Activated carbon can be used as a catalyst carrier for the preparation of catalysts for catalytic reactions.

 

5. Battery manufacturing: Activated carbon is an important raw material in the battery manufacturing process and is used to make carbon electrodes.

 

6. Gas phase purification: Activated carbon can adsorb and remove organic vapors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and gaseous pollutants in gases, and is used in industrial emission gas purification and air purification equipment.

 

It can be seen that activated carbon plays a very important role and is indispensable in industrial production. If you have activated carbon needs, please contact MAOHUA, a professional activated carbon supplier with good quality, low price and more affordable.
