The role and application of activated carbon

1. Purify water and air: Activated carbon can remove toxic and harmful substances in water and air, such as odor, organic compounds, chlorine, ozone, formaldehyde, etc.

2. Medical occasions: It can be used to treat some symptoms of poisoning, such as alcoholism, drug overdose, etc.

3. Beverage purification: Activated carbon can be used to purify drinking water, mineral water, beer, wine, fruit juice and other beverages, and remove chlorine, odor, harmful metal ions and other components.

4. Food processing: It can be used to clarify food and beverages such as fruit juice, beer, wine, syrup, etc., to remove impurities and pigments.

5. Cosmetics and personal care products: it can be used to purify lotion, lotion, body wash and other personal care products to remove odors and impurities.

6. Industrial use: It can be used in catalysts, adsorbents, fixed bed reactors and other fields.

7. Tobacco filter: Activated carbon can be used as the main component of tobacco filter to absorb harmful substances in tobacco.

8. Pet products: Activated carbon can be used in pet products to remove odors and impurities from pets.

Activated Carbon (Activated Carbon) is a porous, highly active carbon material that can have different pore sizes and surface areas according to different preparation conditions. It has the following effects:

1. Adsorption and filtration: Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity, which can effectively remove impurities, odors and harmful substances in water, air and food, purify the environment and protect human health.

2. Catalysis: Activated carbon also has a certain catalytic effect, which can accelerate the rate of chemical reactions, promote the decomposition and oxidative degradation of organic substances, and improve environmental quality.

3. Electronic product manufacturing: Activated carbon can be used in the manufacturing process of electronic products, such as the manufacture of capacitors and electrodes.

4. Drug manufacturing: Activated carbon can be used as one of the raw materials of drugs in the manufacturing and processing of drugs, especially for the adsorption, separation and purification of active ingredients in drugs.

5. Food industry: Activated carbon can be used in food processing, such as decolorization and odor removal.

6. Environmental pollution control: Activated carbon can be used to treat water pollution or air pollution, such as treating organic substances and heavy metal ions in water, purifying harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene in the air, so as to reduce the impact of environmental pollution on the ecological environment.

In conclusion, activated carbon is an important environmental protection material, which has a wide range of applications in various fields.
