Carbon Filter

Activated Carbon Filter

The activated carbon water filter are used for the primary water and sewage filtration of civil and industrial application.
They are used in the event it is necessary to obtain an effluent to be reused, therefore particularly limpid and with a reduced presence of organic matters.
The filter uses the activated carbon as filtering medium, its operation combines the mechanical filtration by means of the filtering bed to the adsorption power to the activated carbon.
The carbon, thanks to its considerable porosity and therefore wide specific surface of contact with the water, adsorb the particles suspended in the water to be treated.
Activated carbon can be vegetable or mineral and are in the form of granules.
These granules are contained within the water, adsorb the particles suspended in the water to be treated.
The effectiveness of the activated carbon in the removal by adsorption (ability of solid/liquid surface to retain or concentrate atoms, molecules, ions of other substances in contact whit it) is due to two characteristics: porosity and reactivity.
The active carbon filtration removes micro-pollutants present in the water through an absorption mechanism of the particles within the micro-pores of the coals which forms the filter bed.
Excessively turbid water or with high content of suspended solids favors the occlusion of the porous part of the granules reducing the surface and then the adsorbing capacity.
For this reason, it’s important that the active carbon filtration always occurs later than in the sand.
The treatment of adsorption on active carbon is mainly used for the removal of organic compounds that are refractory to biological treatment.
