Automatic water filter with activated carbon AGC-SORB-1054C
Description
Automatic water filter with activated carbon, control valve – Clack. Activated carbon filters are widely used in water treatment, most often to improve water quality and to remove unpleasant odor and color.
The well-developed pore structure of activated carbon, and the resulting large surface area, ensures efficient use of the carbon. It removes residual chlorine from the water being treated. The service life of activated carbon is determined by its adsorption capacity. Liquids absorb and dissolve other substances throughout their entire volume, which differs depending on the type of substance being removed.
Mechanical filtration systems offer many benefits: first of all, they purify the water, which reduces scale buildup around the home, chemical cleaners are needed less often, appliances and plumbing break down less frequently, and unwanted odors disappear.
An automatic water filter with activated carbon is a carbon filter that has been given additional processing to better capture gas molecules. First, hot air, carbon dioxide, or steam is injected into it, creating a lattice of tiny pores in the carbon and greatly increasing its surface area. This creates far more sites for molecules to become trapped, making the carbon a much more effective filtration medium. A document from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency notes that one gram of activated carbon can have hundreds of square meters of internal surface area. Most activated carbon is also treated with a chemical that improves its ability to filter specific contaminants.
