Product Description
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.
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.
Effective water purification: GAC is highly effective in removing impurities and contaminants from water, making it a popular choice for water treatment applications.
Improved air quality: GAC can remove volatile organic compounds and other pollutants from the air, improving indoor air quality.
Enhanced product purity: GAC is commonly used in chemical and pharmaceutical processing to remove impurities from products, improving their purity and quality.
Cost-effective solution: GAC is a relatively low-cost adsorbent material, making it a cost-effective solution for many applications.
Versatile: GAC can be used in a wide range of applications, including water and air purification, gas and vapor adsorption, and chemical and pharmaceutical processing.
Granular Activated Charcoal (GAC) has a wide range of applications due to its excellent adsorption properties.
Water treatment: GAC is commonly used in water treatment applications 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.
Air purification: GAC can remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants from the air, making it useful in air purification systems.
Gas and vapor adsorption: GAC can be used to adsorb and remove gases and vapors from the air, such as in industrial air purification systems.
Chemical and pharmaceutical processing: GAC is used in chemical and pharmaceutical processing to remove impurities from products, improving their purity and quality.
Food and beverage processing: GAC is used in the food and beverage industry to remove impurities and contaminants from liquids, such as in the production of beer and wine.
Environmental remediation: GAC is used in environmental remediation to remove pollutants and contaminants from soil and groundwater.
Personal care products: GAC is used in personal care products, such as toothpaste and face masks, to adsorb impurities and improve their effectiveness.
Activated carbon is a type of carbon that has been specially treated to have a very large surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. It is often used to purify liquids and gases by removing impurities such as contaminants, pollutants, and organic compounds.
Activated carbon is produced by heating carbon-rich materials, such as wood, coal, coconut shells, or peat, to high temperatures in the absence of air. This process creates a network of pores and channels in the material, which greatly increases its surface area and creates a large number of active sites where adsorption can take place.
Activated carbon is used in a wide range of applications, including air and water purification, food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and industrial processes. It is also used in gas masks and respirators to filter out harmful gases and vapors.
