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:

  1. High Surface Area: The granular structure allows for maximum exposure of the carbon surface, providing enhanced adsorption of organic and inorganic contaminants.
  2. Sustainable Source: Made from renewable wood resources, this type of activated carbon is an eco-friendly choice.
  3. 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.
  4. Excellent Filtration of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Ideal for applications requiring the removal of harmful gases and VOCs, particularly in air filtration systems.
  5. 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.
