We produce four types of acid-washed activated carbon for our customers as it has a wide variety of applications. It is a specially created product which has been soaked in acid in order to boost the adsorptive qualities and provide superior levels of purification. Acid-washed activated carbon is created by soaking pre-prepared activated carbon from wood, coal or coconut shells in an acidic solution.
We use either sulfuric or hydrochloric acid to wash out activated carbon and during this process any impurities, unwanted inorganic materials and ash are removed from the pores. We then rinse and dry the product and package it ready to ship to our customers. This acid washing process makes our product much more efficient and is used by industries that need very high levels of purity for their varied processes.
There are numerous benefits of using acid-washed activated carbon over other types. The higher levels of purity achieved means the ash content is lower as well as the presence of impurities and metal salts. This means it can be used with confidence for applications where those unwanted particles would otherwise have interfered with the final purification result.
When activated carbon is acid washed the adsorptive capabilities are heightened as there is more surface area in order to capture a higher level of pollutants or contaminants, making it the ideal choice for water treatment and purifying pharmaceuticals.
When you need high levels of purity in your filtration system, opt for acid-washed activated carbon over regular forms. It ensures the complete removal of impurities and contaminants and is perfect for use in laboratories where high purity is essential.
If you need to create very sensitive reactions between chemicals then high purity is essential so impurities cannot act as catalysts and impede the reaction. This superior purity is essential for maximizing yields and producing a cleaner result.
Filtering out unwanted particles in the air can be done with normal activated carbon, but for some industrial systems a higher level of efficiency is needed to capture sulfides or ammonia. This makes it ideal for systems designed to control emissions.
Alcohol filtered through acid-washed activated carbon is produced at a higher quality. This purer and more refined form of activated carbon is essential in distillation applications when high-quality spirits or wine is needed without impurities that could impede taste.
