KNOW ABOUT ACTIVATED CARBON

Activated carbon is charcoal that has been treated with oxygen to open up millions of tiny pores between the carbon atoms. According to Encylopedia Britannica The use of special manufacturing techniques results in highly porous charcoals that have surface areas of 300-2,000 square metres per gram. These so-called active, or activated, charcoals are widely used to adsorb odorous or coloured substances from gases or liquids.

ACTIVATED

CARBON

Activated carbon is a microporous and inert carbon with a large internal surface area (up to 1500m/g), which is capable of adsorbing organic molecules from liquids and gases;

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon that results in the accumulation of molecules within the internal pores of an activated carbon.

HOW IT IS PRODUCED?

Activated carbon is carbon produced from any organic carbonaceous source materials such as nutshells, coconut husk, peat, wood, coir, lignite, coal, and petroleum pitch.

It can be produced by one of the following processes:

Steam activation

The source material is developed into activated carbons using hot gases. This is generally done by using one or a combination of the following processes:

arrow-icon

Carbonization: Material with carbon content is pyrolyzed at temperatures in the range 600–900 °C, in absence of oxygen

Activation/Oxidation: Raw material or carbonized material is exposed to oxidizing atmospheres (oxygen or steam) at temperatures above 250 °C, usually in the temperature range of 600–1200 °C.

Chemical activation:

Prior to carbonization, the raw material is impregnated with certain chemicals. The chemical is typically an acid, strong base, or a salt.

Then, the raw material is carbonized at lower temperatures (450–900 °C). It is believed that the carbonization / activation step proceeds simultaneously with the chemical activation.

TYPES OF

ACTIVATED CARBON

BY THE TYPE OF ACTIVATION

As explained above on the different production technique of activation, classified as Chemically activated carbon and Steam activated carbon.

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon that results in the accumulation of molecules within the internal pores of an activated carbon.

BASED UPON THE RAW MATERIAL USED

Almost any organic matter with a large percentage of carbon could theoretically be activated to enhance its sorptive characteristics.In practice, however, the best candidates for activated carbon contain a minimum amount of organic material, have a long storage life,are hard enough to maintain their properties under usage conditions, may be obtained at a low cost, and obviously are capable of producing a high-quality activated product when processed

BASED UPON THE MATERIAL SIZE / FORM

Activated carbon are complex materials and depending upon its requirement on the end application it is grinded or moulded to different forms. Based upon its size/form , they are classified into Granular activated carbon (GAC), Powder activated carbon (PAC), Extruded activated carbon / Pellets

SCOPE OF ITS TYPICAL APPLICATION

Abrasion/Hardness Number: Relative measure of the ability of granular or pelletized activated carbon to resist at trition during handling and use.

Absorption:: A process in which molecules are taken up by a liquid or solid and distributed throughout the body of the liquid or solid. Activated carbons do not absorb other materials (impurities).

Activated Carbon:  A family of carbonaceous materials manufactured by processes that develop an internal pore structure with adsorptive properties.

Adsorption:  A process in which molecules or atoms are concentrated on a surface by chemical or electrostatic (physical) forces, or both.

Apparent or Bulk Density:  Usually measured in g/ml or pounds per cubic foot. Bulk Density is used to determine the weight of a fixed volume of activated carbon.

Chemisorption (chemical adsorption): The binding of an adsorbate to the surface of a solid by forces whose energy levels approximate those of a chemical bond.

Dosage: The quantity of substance applied per unit weight or volume of the fluid (liquid or gas) being treated with carbon.

Effective Size: In millimeters; the size of screen opening which will permit 10% of the carbon sample to pass but will retain the balance (90% by weight); usually determined by interpolation on a cumulative particle size distribution plot on a logarithmic probability graph.

Impregnated Carbons: Activated carbons that are post-treated with various chemical compounds designed to enhance the adsorptive or catalytic properties of the carbon in either liquid or gas phase applications.

Iodine Number: Mg/l, the amount of iodine adsorbed by one gram of carbon at equilibrium with a 0.02N iodine concentration filtrate.

Mesopore:  In activated carbon, a pore having a diameter between 20-500 angstroms.

Macropore: In activated carbon, a pore having a diameter greater than 500 angstroms.

Micropore: In activated carbon, a pore having a diameter less than 20 angstroms.

Molasses DE (Decolorizing Efficiency):  A measure of a carbon's ability to remove color from a standard molasses solution. The test carbon performance is compared to a standard at 90% color removal. Hence, 100 RE for a carbon means it adsorbs color from molasses like the standard carbon.

Phenol Number: The concentration of phenol in excess of 0.01 ppm required in one liter of water, so that after adding one gram of a pulverized activated carbon, stirring four hours, and filtering to remove the carbon, only 0.01 ppm of phenol will be left in the solution.

Reactivation: The act of restoring adsorptive character to a contaminated activated carbon by a process similar to the original activation process.

Surface Area (B.E.T.): The total surface area of a solid calculated by the B.E.T. (Brunauer, Emmett, Teller) equation, from nitrogen adsorption or desorption data obtained under specified conditions; square meters per gram.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Social responsibility is an ethical theory that an entity, be it an organization or individual, has an obligation to act to benefit society at large. Social responsibility is a duty every individual has to perform so as to maintain a balance between the economy and the ecosystems. A trade-off always[citation needed] exists between economic development, in the material sense, and the welfare of the society and environment. Social responsibility means sustaining the equilibrium between the two. It pertains not only to business organizations but also to everyone whose any action impacts the environment. This responsibility can be passive, by avoiding engaging in socially harmful acts, or active, by performing activities that directly advance social goals.
