Powdered activated carbon FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our activated carbon products, ordering process, and technical support.
Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is a kind of activated carbon in the form of fine particles, usually with a particle size of less than 0.18 millimeters (80 mesh). Due to its fine particle size, powdered activated carbon has a very high specific surface area and excellent adsorption performance, which can effectively remove pollutants and harmful gases from water and air.
Powdered activated carbon is usually made from natural organic materials (e.g. wood, coal, coconut shells, etc.) through a high temperature carbonization and activation process.
The production process includes the following main steps:
- Carbonization: The raw materials are heated at high temperature in an anaerobic or anoxic environment to decompose and form primary carbon.
- Activation: Through chemical or physical methods, the chars are further processed at high temperature to form a large number of micropores on their surface, increasing their specific surface area and adsorption capacity. Our wood powder activated carbon is made by phosphoric acid activation method.
- Crushing: The activated charcoal is crushed into fine particles to make powdered activated carbon.
Powdered activated carbon is mainly used to remove organic pollutants, odor, color, chlorine and other harmful substances from water. Its high specific surface area and rich pore structure enable it to effectively adsorb and remove these pollutants and improve water quality.
Drinking water treatment: It is mainly used to remove organic pollutants, chlorine, odor and chromaticity from water to ensure that the water quality meets the drinking standard.
Wastewater treatment: It is used to remove organic pollutants, heavy metals and other harmful substances from industrial wastewater and municipal sewage, and to reduce the pollution load of wastewater.
