ACTIVATED CARBON GRANULAR – COCONUT BASED STEAM ACTIVATED – IN NELSPRUIT

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 is produced specifically so as to achieve a very big internal surface. This big internal surface makes active carbon ideal for adsorption. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) 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 halogenated substance: I, Br, Cl, H en F Odor Taste Yeasts Various fermentation products Non-polar substances (Substances which are nonsoluble in water
