Details About Activated Carbon
Activated Carbon is a Micro porous material manufactured from carbonaceous raw material i.e. Wood, Coconut Shell, Rice Husk, etc. The activation process develops a my raid of pores of molecular dimensions within the carbon which together constitutes an enormous internal surface area.Activated Carbon The carbon atoms at the internal surface of Activated Carbon exert an attraction on the molecules of the surrounding gases and liquids. The Strength of this force is related to the molecular structure of the surrounding medium. This is the mechanism by which Activated Carbon can be used to remove different components from a mixture. Activated carbons are used as purifying and de-colouring agents in a wide range of process and they absorb between 10% to 90% of their own weight of impurities from aqueous solution. Activated Carbon is added to the process liquor in an agitated vessel and filtered off after the required contact time.
