Product DescriptionGranular Activated Charcoal
Granular Activated Charcoal (GAC) is a highly porous form of activated carbon that is used in a wide range of applications, including water and air purification, gas and vapor adsorption, and chemical and pharmaceutical processing. It is produced by heating carbon-rich materials, such as coconut shells or wood, in the absence of air, which creates a highly porous material with a large surface area.
The surface area of GAC can range from 500 to 1500 square meters per gram, depending on the specific production process and the pore size distribution. This high surface area and porosity give GAC excellent adsorption properties, allowing it to attract and retain a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds.
GAC is commonly used in water treatment applications, where it is used to remove impurities such as chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and other organic contaminants. It can also be used to remove odors and flavors from water.
In addition to its use in water treatment, GAC is also used in air purification systems to remove volatile organic compounds, as well as in chemical and pharmaceutical processing to remove impurities from products.
Features of Granular Activated Charcoal (GAC):
Highly porous material: GAC has a highly porous structure that gives it a large surface area, allowing it to attract and retain a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds.
Broad adsorption spectrum: GAC can adsorb a wide range of contaminants, including chlorine, volatile organic compounds, pesticides, and other organic contaminants.
Low-cost material: GAC is a relatively low-cost adsorbent material, making it an attractive option for many applications.
Easily regenerated: GAC can be easily regenerated through a process called thermal reactivation, which allows it to be reused multiple times.
