What is Activated Carbon (Charcoal) and Why is it Used in Filters?
Activated carbon, commonly referred to as activated charcoal, undergoes a special treatment process where it is exposed to oxygen. This treatment opens millions of tiny pores between the carbon atoms, creating a highly porous material. These pores provide a vast surface area—ranging from 300 to 1,900 square meters per gram—making activated carbon extremely effective at adsorbing odorous or colored substances from a wide range of liquids and gases.Difference Between Charcoal and Activated Charcoal
- Activated Charcoal: Unlike regular charcoal, activated charcoal has been processed with oxygen to create an extensive network of small pores, greatly increasing its surface area. This increased porosity allows activated charcoal to adsorb impurities more effectively.
- Adsorption vs. Absorption: Adsorption is a process where materials attach to the surface of activated charcoal through chemical attraction. The vast surface area of activated charcoal offers numerous bonding opportunities, making it highly efficient in capturing carbon-based impurities, including chlorine.
