How Activated Carbon Can Lead to a Sustainable Future

The Role of Activated Carbon in Shaping the Future


We are in an ever-changing world, especially, in this decade. It has seen an unparalleled pace of change. In spite of the fact that the world has always changed, this decade has seen an unparalleled pace of change. It is rather obvious that as time goes on, newer services and technologies will be all around us.

While this ongoing evolution has a significant positive influence on our lives, it also leads to higher resource consumption. Add to it the fact that population growth is similarly steady, if not quick.

Anything we consume has to be manufactured in factories that use resources like water, fuel, and other chemicals. The issue is that we do not have a limitless supply of natural resources, and the overuse of artificial resources, such as chemicals, results in pollution and higher costs.

What Activated Carbons Are and How They Work


Several industries, including those in the healthcare, automotive, gold mining, water treatment, and food and beverage sectors, use activated carbon extensively. While activated carbon is a porous material that draws and traps various organic molecules inside, it is frequently employed for a variety of contamination-removal applications for air, gas, and liquid volumes.

For instance, doctors may advise a patient to consume a small quantity of activated carbon to help eliminate toxins from the body if they ingest chemicals or get food poisoning. Similarly, these substances are also used for purifying water. To do so, an appropriate amount of activated carbon is added to the treatment plant to absorb organic contaminants and hazardous materials before sending the filtered water to the subsequent stages of water purification.

Activated carbon absorbs organic molecules the best; hence its use is expanding quickly. Yet, it can also get rid of a few inorganic substances.

Activated Carbons Which are frequently Used


Although there are more than 100 distinct types of activated carbon on the market for various purposes based on the complexity, variety, size, and procedure, among other categories, listed below are a few of the most often used types of activated carbon on the market. To learn more about these carbons, let's take a look.

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)

The tiny, high surface-to-volume ratio particles that make up powdered activated carbon are more effective at absorbing pollution. As a matter of fact, these particles are immediately introduced to various processing areas, such as clarifiers, rapid mix basins, raw water intakes, etc.

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)

The external surface areas of the granular activated carbon particles are smaller than those of the powdered activated carbon particles. Due to its rapid diffusing qualities, this form of activated carbon is widely utilized for the adsorption of vapors and gases. Activated carbon for air purification is also widely used. Because of this, granular activated carbon is a popular kind of carbon used in water treatment all around the world.

Unwashed Activated Carbon

Unwashed activated carbon is mostly used in oil refineries for both edible and non-edible products to eliminate undesirable colors and odors. The decolorization of glycerin, fine chemicals, food colors, plasticizers, medication intermediates, dyes, and dye intermediates. Also, as a drug capsules and tablets form for stomach ailments and applications.

Unwashed Activated Carbon is used to purify intravenous fluid and injections. and for the pesticides and insecticides industry for decolorization. It is one of the most manufactured activated carbons among the manufacturers of Activated Carbon in India.

Extruded Activated Carbon (EAC) or Pelletized

Extruded Activated Carbon or Pelletized Activated Carbons, which include powdered activated carbon with a binding agent, is another well-known form of activated carbon that is widely utilized across sectors such as water treatment, healthcare, and food and beverage industries, among others.

When combined, these components create a hard, spherical, or cylindrical particle that is mostly utilized for absorbing flavor, odor, chlorine, dust, and other impurities from various materials that need to be purified. The demand for this activated carbon is quickly increasing in a variety of industrial verticals due to its low-pressure drop, outstanding mechanical strength, and low dust content.

Other Common Uses for Activated Carbon

As activated carbon is quickly becoming recognized and adopted across many industries, it has also attained its usage throughout homes, cosmetics, and other prospective industries all over the world. There are a few uses that have proven beneficial for certain people in different parts of the globe, despite the fact that many uses still need to undergo thorough research and study. Let's continue reading the blog to learn more.

Using Activated Carbon for Adsorption in Recycling and Purification

Adsorption is a simple process that results in the removal of atoms, ions, or molecules from a fluid by making them stick to a solid surface. According to research on Phoenician commerce shipwrecks from circa 450 BC, there may have formerly been charred barrels for storing drinking water on board. Why use such barrels? As these barrels' carbon would draw pollutants to their surface, the crew would receive purified water as a result. Moreover, charcoal has been shown to have been used by the Egyptians to treat digestive disorders and eliminate unpleasant odors.

Because of its microporosity, activated carbon has a large surface area per gram of 500 to 1500 square meters, which is the main reason it is used in adsorption. It is frequently used as an adsorbent because of its large surface area and non-hazardous nature.

The finest feature is that, after the adsorption process is complete, activated carbon may be induced to go through desorption in order to remove or recover the molecules that were adsorbed from its surface. Moreover, activated carbon just requires a very short period of contact time (around 1 sec) to work. The removal of contaminants or molecules with a very low weight per volume in the fluid is particularly successful with activated carbon, in contrast to the usual separation procedure.

Science and technology have advanced to the point where we can now use carbon in its activated state. To enhance its capacity for adsorption, carbon is put through a number of steps throughout the activation process. Several complex problems are being handled by combining activated carbon with modern filtration and purification technology. The following are some applications for activated carbon adsorption that have a track record of success:

1. Treatment of water

2. Treatment of wastewater

3. Chemical Cleansing

4. Industrial Smoke and Gas Treatment

5. Vapour Recovery

6. Catalyst Recovery

7. Food and beverage

8. Pharmaceuticals

9. Vehicle emissions regulation

10. Purification of Biogas and Natural Gas

11. Air Purification

The Need for Purification and Recycling

The traditional method involved using resources like water, chemicals, and gases for industrial purposes before discharging them into the atmosphere. By doing this, we not only harm the planet but also place a burden on the balance sheets. Even worse, we actually end up contributing to future resource scarcity.

Both humans and corporations would not benefit from a future with a filthy environment and limited resources. Hence, if we want to keep enjoying the conveniences and luxuries provided by modern technologies, we need to consider limiting resource use and the negative effects it has on the environment.

In reality, the emergence of goods and technology that reduce waste and lessen the environmental effect of effluents is already evident. Before releasing them into the atmosphere, industries are taking measures to clean up the smoke, fumes, and liquid effluents. Also, they're always looking for ways to recycle resources like water and chemicals. JMB Chemicals is a manufacturer of Activated Carbon in India aiming towards a sustainable future.
