Activated Carbon Filter
Functional carbon filters are often used within the process of removing organic chemicals and extracting free chlorine from water, thus forming water suitable for extraction or use in production processes. ACTIVITIES Carbon filtration works by adsorption, in which the contaminants inside the treated fluid adhere to the entire structure of the carbon substrate. The substrate is made up of many carbon granules, each of which is highly durable. As a result, the substrate covers a large area where dirt is often trapped. Open charcoal is often used as a filter because it has been treated to a higher degree than untreated carbon. One gram of activated coal covers an area of more than 3,000 m2 Clarification Each filter is usually given a micron scale that requires particle sizes the filter can remove from the liquid. Typical particles that can be removed with carbon filters range from 0.5-50 μm. The effectiveness of a carbon filter depends...
