Activated carbon is a highly porous filtration media that removes contaminants, odors, and impurities from water through adsorption. It is commonly used for filtering chlorine, organic compounds, and harmful chemicals.
Working Process of Activated Carbon:
-
Adsorption:
-
Activated carbon has a large surface area with tiny pores that trap contaminants.
-
It attracts and holds organic compounds, chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and bad odors from water.
-
-
Chemical Reactions:
-
Some contaminants, like chlorine, are chemically neutralized when they come into contact with activated carbon.
-
It converts chlorine into chloride, making water safer and better-tasting.
-
-
Filtration:
-
As water flows through, sediments and particulates are also physically trapped in the porous carbon structure.
-
Types of Activated Carbon:
-
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): Used in drinking water filters and industrial systems.
-
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC): Fine particles used in municipal water treatment.
-
Carbon Block Filters: Compressed carbon for enhanced filtration in home water systems.
