Description
Activated carbon granular – coconut based steam activated – IV800
Adsorption is a process where a solid is used for removing a soluble substance from the water. In this process active carbon is solid. Activated carbon granular – coconut based steam activated – IV800 is produced specifically so as to achieve a very big internal surface. As a matter of fact this big internal surface makes active carbon ideal for adsorption. Point often overlooked Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) filter media is mostly used in water treatment, it can adsorb the following soluble substances:
- Adsorption of organic, non-polar substances such as:
- Mineral oil
- BTEX
- Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PACs)
- (Chloride) phenol
- Adsorption of halo generated substance: I, Br, Cl, H and F
- Odor
- Taste
- Yeasts
- Various fermentation products
- Non-polar substances (Substances which are non soluble in water
USES :
- Chlorine Removal
- Chlorine By-Products Removals such as THMs Bad Tastes and Odors Removal
- Turbidity Removal
- Herbicides, Pesticides & Insecticides Removal Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) Removal

Adsorption is the accumulation of a gas or liquid on the surface of a liquid or solid substrate, as opposed to absorption, in which the encroaching substance enters the substrate’s bulk or volume. Activated carbon filter media is porous, inexpensive, and readily available for use as adsorbents, furnishing a large surface area to remove contaminants. It has a more useful surface area per gram than any other material available for physical adsorption. In fact, a teaspoon of activated carbon has more surface area than a football field.
