Application of Activated Carbon in Air Purification
Activated carbon has been widely used in air purification due to its excellent adsorption performance. It effectively captures harmful substances in the air, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, smoke, and other chemical pollutants. Activated carbon's porous structure endows it with an extremely high specific surface area, making it an efficient air purification medium.
Characteristics of Activated Carbon
High specific surface area: Activated carbon is made from specially treated carbon, which fills its surface with tiny pores, greatly increasing the available adsorption surface area.
Porous structure: This structure can effectively capture molecules of various sizes, thereby improving the adsorption capacity for different pollutants.
Chemical stability: Activated carbon is chemically stable and does not easily react with the adsorbed substances. Thus, it can maintain its adsorption performance for a long time.
Regeneration ability: In some cases, activated carbon can be regenerated by heating or other methods to restore its adsorption capacity.
Enhanced technology: infiltration modified activated carbon technology
To further improve activated carbon's performance, we have adopted a new modified activated carbon technology and added special materials such as manganese oxides and molecular sieves to enhance its ability to decompose organic pollutants and adsorb them.
Modified activated carbon: This is a new type of activated carbon treatment technology that can make activated carbon have more pores, thereby obtaining stronger adsorption capacity.
Infiltration technology: Adding manganese compounds, which can catalyze the decomposition of certain organic pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and other harmful gases, thereby improving the purification efficiency of air purifiers.
Add molecular sieve: A molecular sieve is an adsorbent with a highly ordered pore structure. It can selectively adsorb certain molecules accurately and has a better adsorption effect on certain specific pollutants.
Application scenarios
Home and Office: Activated carbon filters are commonly used in air purifiers for homes and offices to help remove odors and harmful gases.
Industrial environment: Activated carbon is used to remove harmful gases and vapors generated during the production process in industrial environments such as chemical plants and pharmaceutical factories.
Cars: Activated carbon is often used in car air purifiers to improve the air quality inside the car and reduce harmful substances inhaled by passengers.
Water treatment: Activated carbon is also used in water treatment systems to remove organic pollutants and odors from water.
working principle
Activated carbon captures pollutants through physical adsorption. When air containing pollutants flows through the activated carbon layer, pollutant molecules are attracted and adhere to the pores of the activated carbon. This process can be completed without any chemical reaction.
Maintenance and replacement
Regular inspection: Regularly check the condition of the activated carbon filter to ensure that it is still in good working condition.
Timely replacement: When the adsorption capacity of activated carbon reaches saturation, a new activated carbon filter should be replaced in a timely manner to maintain the performance of the air purifier.
Activated carbon, as a reliable and efficient air purification material, plays an important role in various application scenarios, creating healthier and more comfortable living and working spaces for people.
