For B2B procurement managers and R&D scientists tasked with managing organic pollutants in water, understanding the specifications and applications of activated carbon is crucial. As a leading supplier and manufacturer, we aim to provide clarity on how to effectively source and utilize activated carbon for optimal water treatment results.

Understanding the Need for Activated Carbon
Organic pollutants, stemming from sources like industrial processes, agricultural runoff, and even natural decay, can significantly compromise water quality. These contaminants can affect taste, odor, color, and, more importantly, pose health risks. Activated carbon's unique porous structure and vast surface area make it an exceptional adsorbent for these complex molecules. Its ability to physically trap and chemically react with a wide range of organic compounds makes it indispensable in water purification and wastewater treatment.

Key Technical Specifications for Buyers
When evaluating activated carbon for organic pollutant removal, several technical parameters are vital:

  • Iodine Adsorption Value: This metric, often ranging from 600-1100 mg/g for our nut shell activated carbon, directly correlates to the carbon's capacity to adsorb small organic molecules. A higher value indicates better performance for removing compounds like pesticides and VOCs.
  • Specific Surface Area: Measured in m²/g, a higher surface area (e.g., 1000 m²/g) means more sites for adsorption, leading to more efficient pollutant removal.
  • Pore Structure: The distribution of pore sizes (micropores, mesopores, macropores) dictates which organic molecules the carbon can effectively adsorb. Nut shell carbons often exhibit a fine pore structure suitable for smaller organics.
  • Ash Content and Moisture: Low ash content and moisture levels ensure product purity and consistent performance.

Applications in Water Treatment
Activated carbon is a cornerstone in various water treatment processes:

  • Water Purification: Removing pesticides, herbicides, industrial solvents, and disinfection byproducts from drinking water and process water.
  • Liquid Adsorption: Effectively adsorbing dissolved organic materials, oils, and color-causing compounds in industrial effluents.
  • Wastewater Treatment: Essential for treating industrial discharges to meet environmental regulations by removing a broad spectrum of organic contaminants.
