Woodbased Granular Activated Carbon
Wood-Based Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is a high-performance filtration medium derived from carefully selected wood sources. Known for its unique porous structure and large surface area, wood-based GAC offers exceptional adsorption capacity, making it ideal for various applications in industries like water purification, air filtration, food and beverage processing, and chemical manufacturing.
Key Features and Benefits:
- High Surface Area: The granular structure allows for maximum exposure of the carbon surface, providing enhanced adsorption of organic and inorganic contaminants.
- Sustainable Source: Made from renewable wood resources, this type of activated carbon is an eco-friendly choice.
- Effective in Color and Odor Removal: Wood-based GAC excels in adsorbing impurities such as color, odor, and taste contaminants, making it valuable in food, beverage, and water treatment industries.
- Excellent Filtration of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Ideal for applications requiring the removal of harmful gases and VOCs, particularly in air filtration systems.
- Chemical Resistance: Its ability to adsorb a variety of chemicals makes wood-based GAC suitable for industrial applications involving solvents and other hazardous substances.
Applications:
- Water Treatment: Used extensively in drinking water purification, industrial wastewater treatment, and groundwater remediation.
- Air Purification: Commonly utilized in air filtration systems to capture volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fumes, and pollutants.
- Food and Beverage Industry: Employed in processes such as decolorization, deodorization, and purification of food products and beverages.
- Chemical Processing: Wood-based GAC is used for purification and recovery of chemicals in various industrial processes.
