Granulated activated carbon
Granulated activated carbon is a porous, black, odorless, and tasteless material composed of carbonaceous substances. It is made from various sources like coal, coconut shell, wood, or peat, which are processed to create a large surface area with numerous pores that can adsorb a wide range of compounds.
APPLICATION & USAGE
- Water Treatment: Granulated activated carbon is extensively used in water treatment processes to remove impurities, odors, and organic contaminants, including chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and certain heavy metals.
- Food and Beverage Industry: Granulated activated carbon is employed in the food and beverage industry to decolorize, purify, and deodorize liquids such as sugar syrups, edible oils, and alcoholic beverages.
- Pharmaceutical Applications: It is used in pharmaceutical processes for purification and removal of impurities from raw materials and solvents.
- Environmental Remediation: Granulated activated carbon is used in environmental cleanup efforts, such as soil and groundwater remediation, to adsorb and remove pollutants and hazardous substances.
- Gold Recovery: Granulated activated carbon plays a vital role in gold recovery processes, where it adsorbs gold cyanide complexes from the leach solutions.
