EBA-9 Activated carbon for treatment of tequilas and other distillates

Activated carbon for distillate treatment, EBA-9 mineral to reduce volatile substances.

EBA-9 is manufactured from bituminous mineral coal selected to achieve a wide range of pore formation. The predominant diameter of this carbon for distillate treatment is between 2 and 20 nanometers. Activated carbon for distillate treatment that allows (due to its characteristics) to adsorb compounds of different molecular weights, both in liquid and gas phase.

EBA-9 is an activated carbon that is very appropriate when it is necessary to reduce the content of substances of different volatility in an alcoholic beverage.

It is not the most effective in the retention of substances that produce color, flavor or aroma, but it is the most effective when it is desired to adsorb a family of molecules of different characteristics.

Its hardness is not as high as that of IA-6 coal, but it is high enough to be a good candidate for reactivation.

What contaminants can this activated carbon for distillate treatment reduce?

Activated carbon is a porous material commonly used for the purification of gases and liquids. In the case of distilled beverages, activated carbon can be an important ally in reducing the presence of unwanted contaminants and improving their quality.

Contaminants that can be reduced with activated carbon in distilled beverages include:

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as benzene, toluene and xylene. These compounds can be harmful to human health, and their presence in distilled beverages can be due to various causes: such as the construction materials of the piping or the additives used during the distillation process.

Activated carbon works through a process of adsorption, in which contaminants present in distilled beverages adhere to its porous surface. In this way, activated carbon can act as an effective purifier to reduce the presence of unwanted contaminants in distilled beverages.

The use of activated carbon can be an effective strategy to reduce the presence of contaminants in distilled beverages, improving their quality and safety for human consumption. It is important to keep in mind that activated carbon must be used correctly and in the right quantities to avoid possible negative effects on the flavor and aroma of distilled beverages.
