![]() ![]() Let us take a look at the performance and application areas of these activated carbon filter cartridges.ġ. ![]() Activated Carbon Filter Cartridges generally include extruded carbon block cartridges, sintered carbon block cartridges, granular activated carbon filters and carbon impregnated cellulose filter cartridges. ![]() Among them, coal carbon and coconut shell carbon are more commonly used. Carbon’s highly porous nature provides a large surface area for contaminants (adsorbates) to collect.The main raw material of activated carbon filter cartridge is activated carbon, which is generally divided into two types: mineral carbon and wood carbon. Physical adsorption is the primary means by which activated carbon works to remove contaminants from water. Amazingly, one kilogram provides a surface area equivalent to 12 football fields. The walls of the pores provide the surface layer molecules essential for adsorption. The resultant product has an incredibly large surface area per unit volume, and a network of submicroscopic pores where adsorption takes place. The carbon-based material is converted to activated carbon by thermal decomposition in a furnace using a controlled atmosphere and heat. Granular activated carbon media is most commonly produced by grinding the raw material, adding a suitable binder to give it hardness, re-compacting and crushing to the correct size. The primary raw material used for activated carbon is any organic material with a high carbon content (coal, wood, peat, coconut shells). T40 = Acid Rinsed (for higher purity) Coconut Shell Coal based GAC – Ideal for use as a polishing filter, for drinking water or RO Post-filtration (12×40 Mesh GAC)Īctivated carbon has an incredibly large surface area per unit volume, and a network of submicroscopic pores where adsorption takes place.T33 = Acid Rinsed (for higher purity) Coconut Shell Coal based GAC – Ideal for use as a polishing filter, for drinking water or RO Post-filtration (12×40 Mesh GAC).T28 = Standard Coconut Shell GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) – Ideal for use as RO Prefiltration (20×50 Mesh GAC).These and other impurities can cause undesirable taste, odour and colour in water. It is widely recognised for its adsorption capacity plus its ability to reduce dissolved organics and chemicals such as chlorine. Granulated Carbon (GAC) has long been utilised to reduce impurities in potable water. ![]() GAC filters also can be used to remove chemicals that give objectionable odours or tastes to water such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs odour) or chlorine. The PurePro series carbon blocks are great for displacing GAC(Granular Activated Carbon) filters in application where high chlorine removal is requiredĪ filter with granular activated carbon (GAC) is a proven option to remove certain chemicals, particularly organic chemicals, from water. These cartridges can be used in a wide range of applications such as residential, food service, commercial, and industrial. PurePro UDF Carbon are ideal for point-of-use (POU) and reverse osmosis applications.
