On the source material of activated carbon

If you want to be a high-quality activated carbon, you must first improve its source material. The source material is the foundation of activated carbon, and its quality is also related to the efficiency and quality of carbon, which cannot be ignored.

Now look at all kinds of activated carbon source materials, there are many kinds and each has its own characteristics. Wood materials, such as birch, coconut shell, etc., have loose texture and suitable fiber structure. After special processing, they can become activated carbon with well-developed pores. Its adsorption performance is quite good, and it is widely used in the genus of water purification and air purification.

There are coal materials, such as anthracite and bituminous coal. Coal is hard and dense in structure. However, after activation processing, it can also create activated carbon with high specific surface area. This type of activated carbon is often used in industrial adsorption, desulfurization and denitrification, and other fields.

Furthermore, biomass materials, such as rice husks, straw, etc., have a wide range of sources and low cost. Although its own texture may not be as good as the previous two, if the process is correct, it can also produce activated carbon with acceptable performance, which has great potential for environmental recycling.

If you want to obtain a good material as an activated carbon source, you must review its composition and structure. Those with pure ingredients and few impurities are preferred; those with a structure that is conducive to the formation of rich pores are preferred. And the preparation process is also crucial. Different source materials are adapted to different processes, or physical activation, or chemical activation, all need to be carefully studied in order to make the characteristics of the source material fully apparent and produce high-quality activated carbon.

All of these, the source material is like the source of water and the root of wood. Good selection of source materials and intensive research process can obtain the best products of activated carbon, which can be used in many fields such as industry, people's livelihood, and environmental protection.
