BOYU ACTIVATED CARBON AC-500 500G IN SOUTH AFRICA

    Boyu Activated Carbon 500g Boyu AC-500 Activated Carbon Bag 500g. Activated Carbon is an essential filter media for every aquarium. It can effectively eliminate odors, purifies and softens water through the process of adsorption (not absorption). To adsorb means to” take up” onto a surface as opposed to absorb which is to “take in”. Activated carbon therefore will extract harmful substances from the water and attach or retain them. These substances are, for instance, chlorine in mains water, heavy metals, residues of water treatments or traces of cleaning agents, pesticides, colourants etc. Activated charcoal is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous and therefore have a large surface area available for adsorption. Due to its high degree of porosity, 1 gram of activated carbon has a surface area in excess of 500 m2 (as determined typically by nitrogen gas adsorption.) Usage: First rinse the activated carbon with water, then put it into the filter casing. It will start functioning immediately. Remove the activated carbon from the filter when you use any treatments. Replace after 3 months. Activated charcoal is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous and therefore have a  large surface area available for adsorption.
