It’s made from raw organic materials like coconut shells, coal, wood, peat, and lignite coal that are high in carbon. GAC is sometimes called a “charcoal” filter because it’s activated by heating it in the absence of oxygen, which increases its surface area.
GAC is used in liquid flow systems for deodorization, component separation, and water treatment.
Download PDFWater treatment: GAC is commonly used to remove chemical contaminants, taste, and odor from drinking water. It can also remove natural organic matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), synthetic organic compounds, and disinfection byproduct precursors.
Environmental protection:GAC can be used to fix pollutants in the soil and atmosphere.
Adsorption properties:GAC’s adsorptive capacity can be varied by changing manufacturing conditions to create unique adsorption properties for specific applications.
It can remove impurities, coloring substances, and medication residues
It is effective at dechlorination because of its high affinity for chlorine.
Granular activated carbon (GAC) is a material with a high surface area to volume ratio that is used for adsorbing contaminants from liquids and gases
GAC adsorbs contaminants through a process called adsorption, which occurs when liquids or gases pass through the GAC’s porous structure.
