FAQ: Why is Russian activated carbon considered one of the most versatile sorbents?

Why is activated carbon considered one of the most versatile sorbents?
The secret lies in its structure: 1 gram of activated carbon has a surface area of up to 1,000-1,500 m²! These micropores act like a sponge, trapping organic molecules, heavy metals, odors, and even radioactive compounds. Additionally, activated carbon is resistant to temperature changes and chemical environments.

How can you tell if activated carbon has reached its limit?

Signs: the appearance of an odor, deterioration of the quality of purified water or product, and an increase in pressure in the filter. In laboratory conditions, iodine number or sorption capacity tests are performed, and if the results are below the standard, the coal is replaced.
