    Activated carbon. Activated carbon is made of wood, coal and petroleum coke.

    and other carbon-containing raw materials are prepared by pyrolysis and activation processing, which has a well-developed pore structure and a large specific surface area.

    and abundant surface chemical groups, a general term for carbon materials with strong specific adsorption capacity.

    Activated charcoal can treat dyes.

    Wastewater, dye wastewater has complex composition, large water quality changes, and color.

    Deep, high concentration, difficult to handle. The treatment methods mainly include oxidation, adsorption, membrane separation, flocculation, biodegradation, etc. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, among which activated carbon can effectively remove the color of wastewater.

    Activated carbon is widely used as a catalyst because of its crystallization defects, and it is also widely used as a catalyst carrier because of its large specific surface area and porous structure.

    Activated carbon is a specially treated charcoal that heats organic raw materials such as husks, coal, wood, etc. in an air-isolated condition to reduce non-carbon components, and then reacts with gases to erode the surface to produce a microporous structure.

    When the flow rate is low, the filtration capacity of the unit mainly comes from the screening effect of activated carbon, and when the flow rate is fast, the filtration capacity comes from the adsorption of the surface of activated carbon particles.

    Activated carbon cannot be dehumidified to remove moisture.

    Reason: Activated carbon filtration is to intercept pollutants in the suspended state, and the trapped suspended solids are filled in the void between the activated carbon, and the water will flow down, so it is widely used in the treatment of sewage and drinking water.

    In terms of activated carbon adsorption, it acts on pollutant molecules in the adsorption process, so it can adsorb harmful or gases in the air, which is widely used in air purification, deodorization at home and in cars, etc.

    How to dehumidify and remove moisture:

    There is one mode of turning on the air conditioner which is dehumidification.

    Maintain good ventilation so that moisture can be effectively removed.

    Cultivating some plants, putting some grapefruit peels, etc., can achieve dehumidification and moisture removal.

    OK. Use some activated charcoal to make it, and use the husk. Fruit shell activated carbon is mainly made of fruit shell and wood chips as raw materials, which are carbonized, activated and refined. It has the characteristics of large specific surface area, strong crust activated carbon, high degree, uniform particle size, developed pore and node structure, and strong adsorption performance.

    Activated charcoal can be used over and over again. It is a carbonized material with a relatively developed void structure, and the pore adsorption will become saturated after the use of the time, and then it is necessary to restore the activity of the product through certain technologies, and exposure to the sun is one of the very good ways, which is relatively simple.

    At present, activated carbon has been widely used in environmental protection, industry and civil use, and has achieved considerable results, but after the activated carbon is replaced by adsorption saturation, the user unit will be discarded, buried or burned, resulting in waste of resources and re-pollution of the environment.

    Activated carbon adsorption is a physical process, so high-temperature steam can also be used to desorb the impurities in the used activated carbon and restore its original activity, so as to achieve the purpose of reuse, which has obvious economic benefits. The recycled activated carbon can still be used for continuous reuse and regeneration.

    Precautions for the use of activated carbon

    1. Wash and remove dust before use, otherwise these black dust may temporarily affect the cleanliness of water quality. However, it is recommended not to rinse directly with fresh tap water, because the porous pores of activated carbon can cause damage to the water quality once it adsorbs a large amount of chlorine and bleach powder in the tap water, and then it is placed in the filter for use.

    2. It is impossible to clean the clogged debris in the porous pores of activated carbon by simple cleaning. Therefore, it is important to replace the activated carbon regularly to avoid the activated carbon losing its efficacy due to "adsorption saturation". And the timing of replacement should not wait for it to fail before replacing it, so as to ensure that the activated carbon can continuously remove harmful substances from the water quality of the aquarium.

    It is recommended to replace the activated carbon 1-2 times a month.

    3. The efficiency of activated carbon in treating water quality is related to its treatment amount, which is usually "the effect of treating water quality with more dosage is relatively good".

    Activated carbon can be used after exposure, after sun exposure, the water molecules attached to the surface of the activated carbon will evaporate, keep the small holes on the surface of the activated carbon unblocked, so that the activated carbon will continue to adsorb formaldehyde and other harmful gases until the activated carbon is saturated.

    Activated carbon is black powdery or lumpy, granular, honeycomb-shaped amorphous carbon, in addition to containing carbon elements, it also contains two admixtures, one is a chemically bonded element, mainly including oxygen and hydrogen, which is convenient for activated carbon to be chemically combined with foreign non-carbon elements and activated carbon surface when adsorbed.

    Another admixture is ash, which is the inorganic part of activated carbon, but it is easy to cause secondary pollution of activated carbon.

    Activated carbon can volatilize a small amount of substances attached to the activated carbon after exposure, but can not volatilize the adsorbed formaldehyde, so it cannot rely on the exposure of the sun to realize the recycling of activated carbon, and ensure that the activated carbon in the room is replaced in time after a period of use.

    Activated carbon that usually needs to be exposed to the sun is activated carbon that has been placed for a long time or is damp, and when activated carbon is used, in addition to absorbing toxic gases in the air, it will also absorb humid moisture in the air, which will occupy the space for adsorbing toxic gases in the carbon, so the method of exposure will be used to remove the moisture in the carbon to make room for continued adsorption of toxic gases.

    Activated charcoal is exposed to the sun after a long time. It is enough to bask in the sun for one day, or you can bask for a few more days, which does not matter and will not affect the effect of activated carbon.

    Activated charcoal needs to be used for a period of timeIt is not to dry the formaldehyde inside, but to dry the water molecules attached to the surface of the activated carbon, and keep the small holes on the surface of the activated carbon unblocked, so that it can continuously adsorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde until the activated carbon is saturated. Whether it is activated carbon or bamboo charcoal, there are some large or small particles, the small particles are calcined or activated, and there are many honeycomb-shaped pores on the surface, and their formaldehyde absorption and odor absorption all rely on the small pores on the surface. Therefore, the purpose of exposure is to keep the surface of the activated carbon pores unblocked, as long as the pores are unblocked, the activated carbon can continuously adsorb harmful gases until the pores inside are saturated.

    According to the difference in quality and the concentration of your indoor formaldehyde content, the time of reuse of activated carbon is also different Generally, the activated carbon of regular manufacturers is about a month to take out the exposure to the sun and lose Liang Jian once The use time is about 8 months to a year In addition, there is a new product like Happy Forest, which does not need to be taken out to the sun, and the use time of the slag cavity is about three years, which is more expensive.

    OK. Activated carbon has an adsorption effect, adsorbs some impurities and odors, so it does not need to be cleaned. After using it for a period of time, it can be cleaned by exposing it to the sun, and it can be used repeatedly; Until the activated carbon becomes less, it means that there is consumption.

    If activated carbon is used for a certain period of time, its adsorption capacity will reach a bottleneck, affecting its functional role, so it is necessary to regularly expose the product to the sun, keep the activated carbon dry, and reuse it to achieve the effect of prolonging the service life of the product.

The effect is not very good, even the activated carbon is prone to adsorption saturation, when the activated carbon is in a saturated state, it no longer has the adsorption capacity, at this time it should be replaced with a new activated carbon, otherwise there is a risk of secondary release of formaldehyde. For the problem of indoor formaldehyde removal, the following methods are good choices. >>>More

Plants can absorb a small amount of indoor formaldehyde, but when there is too much indoor formaldehyde, plants can't do anything. When the leaves of the plant appear yellow, you should pay more attention when you die, and detect whether the formaldehyde in the room is seriously exceeded, so as not to bring harm to yourself.
