Activated carbon (or activated carbon) is a carbon material with a highly porous structure that is commonly used for adsorption and filtration purposes. Its functions and benefits mainly include the following aspects:

1. Strong adsorption performance

Activated carbon has a very high specific surface area and microporous structure, and can effectively absorb various pollutants and harmful substances in gases and liquids, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, chemicals, etc.

2. Water purification

Activated carbon is widely used in drinking water and sewage treatment. It can remove odor, chlorine, microorganisms, chemical pollutants, etc. in the water and improve water quality.

3. Air purification

In air purifiers, activated carbon filters can effectively absorb odors, smoke, and harmful gases in the air, such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, etc., improving indoor air quality.

4. Medical purposes

Activated carbon is often used in medical treatment for detoxification, especially in acute poisoning incidents. It absorbs poisons by oral administration or injection to reduce the harm of poisons to the human body. In addition, it is also used to treat certain digestive system diseases, reduce flatulence and absorb harmful substances in the intestines and stomach.

5. Industrial applications

In industrial processes such as chemical industry, biopharmaceuticals, and food processing, activated carbon is often used in processes such as decolorization, deodorization, and impurity removal. For example, decolorization of syrups and wines, and purification processes in pharmaceutical production.

6. Environmentally friendly applications

Activated carbon has important applications in the field of environmental protection, such as waste gas treatment, wastewater treatment and soil remediation. It can effectively absorb pollutants in the environment and reduce negative impacts on the environment.

7. Daily life applications

In daily life, activated carbon is used for dehumidification, mildew prevention, deodorization, etc., such as refrigerator deodorizer, shoe cabinet deodorant, car interior air purifier, etc.

Summarize

Activated carbon has important functions and benefits in water purification, air purification, medical treatment, industry, environmental protection and daily life due to its excellent adsorption capacity and wide range of applications. By choosing the appropriate activated carbon product, you can effectively improve the quality of life and the environment.
