What Kind of Activated Carbon Filter Should You Select?
Activated carbon is a kind of microcrystalline carbon material made of carbonaceous material with black appearance, well-developed pore structure, large specific surface area and strong adsorption capacity. It is a commonly used adsorbent, catalyst or catalyst carrier. Good activated carbon must have the characteristics of large adsorption capacity, long service life, high mechanical strength, low ash content, easy washing and good effluent quality. It can not only remove peculiar smell, odor and improve chroma, but also has a high level removal rate of pollutants such as chlorine, phenol, mercury, lead, arsenic, chloride, detergent, pesticide, fertilizer and other pollutants in water.
Activated carbon has a negative electric charge which attracts the molecules of many contaminants. While some chemicals like sodium and nitrates pass right through an activated water filter, organic and carbon-based impurities are efficiently bound to the surface. Let see what kinds of carbon filter could we choose for water filtration.
