Why Adsorb Activated Carbon Is Used in
High-Performance Applications
Amelioration (Soil and Environmental Health)
Amelioration
(Soil and Environmental Health)
- Improves soil structure and aeration.
- Enhances water retention and balances extremes (drainage in clay, retention in sand).
- Adsorbs agrochemicals, preventing leaching of pesticides and heavy
- Serves as a microbial habitat, boosting soil microbial activity.
- Raises pH when manufactured at high temperature, aiding acidic soil remediation.
Adsorption (Chemical Binding)
- Adsorbs a wide range of organic compounds, heavy metals, and toxins.
- Used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia, mycotoxins, and phenols.
- Ideal for animal feed additives, water detoxification, and effluent treatment.
- Operates through van der Waals forces, electrostatic attraction, and chemisorption.
Filtration
(Solid-Liquid or Gas Separation)
- Removes suspended solids, colour, taste, and odour from liquids (e.g. potable water, beverages).
- Traps particulate matter and vapours in air purification systems.
- Granular activated carbon (GAC) is widely used in media filters, cartridges, and column systems for the removal of organic compounds, heavy metals, and other contaminants from water, soil and air.
Purification
(Refinement and Detoxification)
- Used in pharmaceuticals, food processing, gold recovery, and cosmetics.
- Removes impurities and residual solvents, enabling high-purity product manufacture.
- Effective in biogas purification, solvent recovery, and alcohol distillation.
