removal of chlorine in different fields.It is also used in the removal of chloramine.But the process of removal varies for chlorine and chloramine.Activared carbon is used in varous applications such as water, air,food etc.The main quality of carbon is removing the odour and adsorbing some chemicals, hence find its application in water,air and food.
The water is treated with the activated carbon and hence it cleans the water.The ground water,aquarium water,waste water and the municipal water are treated with the activated carbon to make it free from odour and chlorine.
In case of air it is used in odour control, maintaining the air quality etc.As carbon has the tendency to absorb any kind of odour it is used in air cleaing.The indoor air quality can be maintained by using this property of carbon.Hence the carbon is also used in household refrigerators.
In case of food the activated carbon is used in the edible oil purification, corn and sugar decolorization etc.In decolourization process, the colour gets adsorbed into the activated carbon and thus the decolorization takes place.
Thus the activated carbon finds a great role in many industries through its qualities.

Activated Carbon Adsorption

There are many pollutants, poisons and toxins that are remarkably difficult to eliminate using standard mechanisms. The reason these substances are so hard to remove is that they are tiny particles and such particles have a stubborn tendency to persist. This is a problem both in an environmental sense as well as in a medical sense. In an environmental sense these substances can be very difficult to remove from the air we breathe and from the water we drink. To have safe drinking water we do need to be able to remove these substances from the water. This is where activated carbon filter devices come into play. Via a process called activated carbon adsorption these tiny particles can be removed. Activated carbon and activated charcoal have a very unique structure, which leads to these substances attaching to it, and it allows activated carbon to remove toxins that other processes cannot. This is why activated carbon is so frequently used for water and air filtration applications. In addition though activated carbon adsorption can help out when it comes to medical applications. Certain poisons do not have antidotes and so cannot be cured using traditional methods. With activated carbon though these substances can be filtered out of the body with very careful application.
