Activated carbon is a specially treated carbon. Activated carbon is made by pyrolyzing and activating carbon-containing raw materials like wood, coal, and petroleum coke. It has a developed pore structure, a large specific surface area, and a high specific adsorption capacity due to its large specific surface area and rich surface chemical groups. Collective name for carbon materials.

Chemical characteristics

Activated carbon has chemical adsorption in addition to physical adsorption. The adsorption of activated carbon is affected by both pore structure and chemical composition. Activated carbon contains not only carbon, but also a trace of chemically bound, functional group-operating oxygen and hydrogen in the form of carbonyl, carboxyl, phenols, lactones, quinones, and ethers. Some of the oxides and complexes on the surface are derived from raw materials, while others are formed during and after activation by the action of air or water vapor. Surface sulfides and chlorides are occasionally formed. The minerals in the raw materials are concentrated in the activated carbon during activation and become ash. Ash is mostly made up of salts of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, such as carbonates and phosphates.

Mechanical characteristics

Granularity: The weight of activated carbon remaining in and passing through each sieve, which represents the particle size distribution, is determined using a set of standard sieving methods.

Mes’s density, also known as bulk density, is the volume of activated carbon per unit volume of pore volume and interparticle void volume.

Bulk density and particle density: The weight per unit volume of activated carbon should be calculated using the pore volume rather than the inter-particle void volume.

Strength: the activated carbon’s crush resistance.

Abrasion resistance: the ability to withstand abrasion or friction.

These mechanical properties have a direct impact on the application of activated carbon, such as density, which affects container size; powdery carbon thickness, which has an impact on filtration; granular carbon particle size distribution, which has an impact on fluid resistance and pressure drop; and crushability, which has an impact on activated carbon life and waste carbon regeneration. Activated carbon varieties There are numerous types of activated carbon due to differences in raw material sources, manufacturing methods, appearance shapes, and applications. There are currently no accurate statistical materials, and there are thousands of varieties.

Activated carbon applications

Some organic substances in wastewater, such as phenol, benzene, petroleum, and its products, pesticides, detergents, synthetic dyes, amine compounds, and many artificial organic compounds, are difficult to oxidize and decompose by microorganisms or general oxidation methods. It is difficult to meet discharge standards in water bodies with higher discharge requirements later, and it also hurts wastewater reuse, necessitating advanced treatment.

Application in advanced drinking water treatment

The foundation of activated carbon adsorption is conventional water treatment. In most cases, it is set after sand filtration. It can also be made up of a sand filter and a double-layer filter, or it can be made up of activated carbon instead of sand. It was discovered that a large number of microorganisms grew on the activated carbon filter material during the process of deep drinking water treatment using activated carbon adsorption, which improved the effluent water quality and lengthened the regeneration as a result, a low-cost biological activated carbon for removing micropollutants in water was developed. The steps are as follows: Raw water- (addition of coagulant)-clarification-filtration (addition of ozone), followed by activated carbon adsorption, and finally water.
