Activated Carbon
ACTIVATED CARBON – Activated Carbon is porous from of Carbon manufactured from internal surface area.
The porosity Creates a remarkable power of Adsorption, an indispensable Process in industrial separation.
Purification, decolonization & recovery technique. The Carbon atoms at the internal surface of Activated Carbon.
Exert an attraction ( Vendor waars force ) on the molecules of surrounding liquid & gas & fixes on to its pore walls.
This is the basis of mechanism whereby Activated Carbons may be used to remove one or more components from a mixture.
GRANULES – In GASPHASE adsorption, Granular Carbon is almost always used because the Pressure drop in the Carbon bed is of prime importance & Granular Carbon will allow sufficient flow with an acceptable pressure drop.
