How Activated Carbon Adsorption Works?

March 15, 2024May 01, 2024

In our daily life, activated carbon is often used to deal with some odors in life, such as removing odors, micro-pollution substances in water, etc. But do you know how activated carbon adsorption works?

Principle of activated carbon adsorption:

The principle of activated carbon adsorption process is that activated carbon has developed voids, large specific surface area, and high adsorption capacity. According to this characteristic of activated carbon, in waste gas treatment equipment, when VOC organic waste gas enters the activated carbon device, due to the unbalanced and unsaturated molecular attraction on the solid surface of the activated carbon, when the gas passes through the activated carbon, it can attract the pollution in the waste gas The molecules are concentrated and kept on the solid surface, and the pollutants will be adsorbed. After the exhaust gas passes through the filter, it enters the dust exhaust system of the equipment, and the purified gas is discharged at high altitude to meet the standards.

The activated carbon adsorption box has the characteristics of high adsorption efficiency, large adsorption capacity, wide application, and low price. The operation of the activated carbon adsorption box is also very simple and safe. At the same time, it should be noted that after activated carbon is used for a period of time, it adsorbs a large amount of substances, gradually becomes saturated, and loses its working ability. Therefore, activated carbon must be regenerated or replaced regularly.

The activated carbon adsorption device can adsorb and recover organic waste gases such as benzene, alcohol, and ketones, and can effectively remove organic pollutants, color, and odor in industrial waste gas. Activated carbon adsorption boxes are widely used in spraying, food processing, printed circuit boards, semiconductor manufacturing, chemical industry, electronics and other industries.
