Activated Carbon Equipment: Function and Applications
Actived carbon equipment is a purification system designed to remove pollutants from air or water, with activated carbon as its core material.
These devices are widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential environments. Their primary function is to adsorb odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), harmful gases, or certain dissolved substances, thereby achieving clean air and water quality.
What is Activated Carbon?
Activated carbon is a specially processed carbon material with extremely high porosity and surface area (hundreds to thousands of square meters per gram). This unique property gives it strong physical adsorption capability, enabling it to capture and retain pollutants from gases or liquids.

Advantages of Activated Carbon Equipment
· ✅ High adsorption efficiency: Effectively removes a wide range of pollutants.
· ✅ Simple operation: No complex mechanical structures required.
· ✅ Environmentally friendly with no secondary pollution: Physical adsorption without chemical reactions.
· ✅ Compatible with other treatment systems: Such as UV treatment, condensation recovery, or wet scrubbers.
Usage Precautions
1. Activated carbon must be replaced regularly: Adsorption efficiency drops significantly once it becomes saturated.
2. Select the appropriate carbon material based on pollutant type: Efficiency varies for acidic gases versus organic solvents.
3. Avoid high humidity or high temperature conditions: Excessive humidity or heat in the exhaust stream will reduce adsorption performance.
