What is the mesh number of activated carbon?

When you see the eye, you may think of the eye. But the eye also means unit, which means the number of holes on the screen per square inch. 20 means that the number of holes on the screen per square inch is 20*20, and 200 means that the number of holes on the screen per square inch is 200*200. The more the mesh, the more the holes.

The mesh of activated carbon refers to its particle size or thickness. Activated carbon materials can pass through this screen, and the number of holes in the screen defines this mesh. For activated carbon, the larger the mesh, the smaller and finer the particle size of the activated carbon; If the mesh number is smaller, it means that the particle size of activated carbon is larger.

According to the conventional regulations, the more meshes per unit volume of activated carbon, the larger its area in contact with air, and the better its powder absorption performance. If the mesh number is small, the contact area will be smaller. If the mesh number of activated carbon is large, the contact area will be larger, and its adsorption performance will be better.
