Activated Carbon for Water Treatment
CAS Number: 7440-44-0
Activated carbon is a highly porous adsorbent material widely used in drinking water and industrial water treatment to remove chlorine, chloramines, taste and odor compounds, organic micropollutants, pesticides, and color. It is available in granular (GAC) and powdered (PAC) forms for fixed-bed and slurry dosing applications. Activated carbon is also used as a dechlorination agent in RO pretreatment and as an adsorbent in wastewater polishing.
