Activated Carbon Filters
Activated carbon has attracted a lot of attention compared to inorganic adsorbents such as zeolite due to its high internal surface area and porous structure, low price, surface reactivation capability, and high adsorption capacity. The active carbon used is a form of carbon whose internal surface has been increased due to processing and can be used in liquid or gas phase. Among the most important applications of this substance in the liquid phase, can mention the treatment of wastewater, absorption of odor, color and turbidity, removal of free chlorine from wastewater in the wastewater treatment package, purification of drinking water, industrial water and aquarium water.
