Applications of activated carbon free of fines:
-
- Cleaner and faster start-up water purification
- Chlorine removal (dechlorination)
- Elimination of tastes and odors
- Retention of organic contaminants
MICRO LF is an activated carbon that is produced with the basic properties to fulfill these functions, in addition to carrying an extra process for the cleaning of fine dust by means of air, at a very competitive price. It is manufactured from coconut shell and thermally activated in a reducing atmosphere, saturated with water vapor.
Plant origin
Made from coconut shells, it contains less heavy metals compared to mineral activated carbons.
Thermal activation
It contains no chemical residues because it is activated by heat in a controlled atmosphere that increases its surface area.
Highly porous
Coconut shell carbons form micropores with the ability to adsorb contamination generated by low molecular weight compounds.
Free of fines
The fines content is much lower than what a standard activated carbon contains, in a process subsequent to activation, the carbon is passed through aerators that remove the light fines (dust).
*The coal is not totally without fines.
