Activated carbon is a prevailing adsorbent used frequently throughout water purification efforts to remove contaminants and unwanted components. Activated carbon can be used in an extensive range of water treatment applications, it is an acute tool used through municipal and industrial water treatment facilities to treat drinking water, wastewater, and municipal water for process use.
Activated carbon endures remaining one of the most preferred water treatment techniques because of its extraordinary array of applications and functions. It offer one of the most effective means of removing key contaminants such as THM and DBP as well as removing organic constituents and residual disinfectants in water supplies. This not only increases taste and minimizes health hazards but protects other water treatment units such as reverse osmosis membranes and ion exchange resins from possible damage due to oxidation or organic fouling.
