It is also known as surface-modified carbon because during the process we use to create it the surface of the carbon is altered by transforming its electric structure. During the process the surface develops functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl and nitro which facilitate chemical catalyzation. The carbon surface itself becomes the catalyst as it speeds up reaction times which means you use less carbon and don’t have to use lots of equipment to carry out the reactions. This type of carbon can also be recycled and regenerated easily.
Activated carbon functions perfectly as a catalyst carrier thanks to the combination of a large surface area, excellent thermal stability and pores that are adapted to facilitating reactions. To support the catalyst, the surface of the activated carbon is oxidized before being lowered carefully into a solution containing a variety of metal salts. How well the activated carbon performs as a carrier is down to the chemical structure on the surface as well as the structure of the pores. The final effects of the catalytic carbon depend on numerous factors affecting the surface such as the presence of free radicals, what acidic groups are present and how well it accepts electrons. For example, catalytic performance for hydrogen-related reactions is improved for catalysts like palladium or platinum when it supports the same group.
Unlike the impregnated activated carbon we supply, specific metal salts or chemicals are not added to the carbon in order to target pollutants, but instead the physical nature of the carbon itself is transformed. By changing the structure of carbon for enhanced catalytic function it works much better than our standard activated carbon products. This increase in efficiency means that contaminants can be removed more effectively and the filtration system they are used in performs much better.
Many types of activated carbon simply adsorb pollutants, but when it has been catalyzed the pollutants and contaminants themselves are actually broken down so don’t require further treatment, which is cost-effective in the long-run.
Rather than simply capturing contaminants and substances in the air, when you use catalytic activated carbon products in purification and filtration systems the reaction breaks things like VOCs and odors down into reaction byproducts.
When there are organic pollutants in water that you need to break down rather than just capture and remove, catalytic carbon will work amazingly against everything from pharmaceutical products to reducing TOC concentration.
As an excellent catalyst carrier, activated carbon has found a natural home in the petrochemical industry for a range of uses including desulfurization which removes color and bad flavors from liquids.
In heavily polluted environments from chemical contamination or to clean up biological hazards, catalytic carbon will help to clean up and neutralize the harmful materials in areas that need to be remediated.
Whether it’s an industrial factory setting, waste treatment plant or a chemical laboratory, odors lingering in the air may pose a significant health risk and make an inhospitable working environment but this activated carbon breaks down the odor components.
