ACTIVATED CARBON
DESCRIPTION
Activated Carbon is a very active product with a high proportion of medium and large pores. It is recommended for the adsorption of large quantities of high molecular weight substances.Granular Activated Carbon has a relatively larger particle size compared to powdered Activated Carbon and consequently, presents a smaller external surface. Diffusion of the adsorbate is thus an important factor. These carbons are therefore preferred for all absorption of gases and vapors as their rate of diffusion are faster. Granulated carbons are used for water treatment, deodorization and separation of components of flow system and is also used in rapid mix basins. GAC can be either in granular or extruded form.

APPLICATION
The use of granular Activated Carbon in wastewater treatment systems is a proven process for removal of organic compounds. As a tertiary treatment method, carbon adsorption and regeneration have been used to process domestic wastewaters contaminated with industrial wastes of organic origin as well as biologically treated waste waters. Activated Carbon, when contacted with water containing organic material, will remove these compounds selectively by a combination of adsorption of the less polar molecules, filtration of the larger particles, and partial deposition of colloidal material on the exterior surface. The quantity of Activated Carbon required will depend upon the degree of contamination.
Activated carbon is useful in drinking water treatment because it acts as an adsorbent , and can effectively remove particles and organics from water. These organics are of great concern in water treatment because they react with many disinfectants, especially chlorine.
Activated Carbon is a very active product with a high proportion of medium and large pores high surface area 1050 meter square per gram. It is recommended for the adsorption of large quantities of high molecular weight substances.
An amorphous from of carbon characterized by high adsorptivity for many gases, vapors, and collodial solids.
Used for water and air purification, solvent recovery, waste treatment, removal of sulfur oxide from stack gases and “clean” rooms as deodorant, and for air conditioning.

MIXING AND HANDLING
Fluids may be filtered through Activated Carbon or the Activated Carbon may also be added directly to a contaminated fluid to remove impurities. It is advisable to use a dust mask and eye protection while mixing all powdered products.
