This particular 12X40 Mesh results in more surface area & contact time resulting higher performance activated carbon.What is Activated Carbon?
Activated Carbon is a porous material that removes organic compounds from liquids & gases by a process known as adsorption. During this process organic molecules contained in a liquid or gas are attracted & bound to the surface of the pores of the activated carbon as the liquid or gas is passed through.During adsorption, liquids or gases pass through a bed or layer of highly porous material called the adsorbent. The compound or compounds to be removed, termed the adsorbate(s) diffuse to the surface of the adsorbent and are retained because of weak forces. Adsorption occurs on the internal surfaces of the materials.The primary raw material used in the production of our activated carbons is bituminous coal that is crushed, sized and processed in low temperature bakers followed by high temperature furnaces. This heating process is known as the activation, and develops the pore structure of the carbon. Through adjustments in the activation process, pores of the required size for a particular purification application are developed.
\"Applications\"
(HAC) may be used for a wide variety of water treatment applications requiring
the removal of chlorine, tastes, discoloration, organic pollutants,
odors, toxic compounds & medications.
Used in liquid or vapor phase media filtration media
Excellent for filtering drinking waterPolishing Neutral Spirit
If you are making Neutral Alcohol, make sure it is polished using activated carbon.
Soak it for at least a week (and up to a couple of months) to remove any aldehydes, aminos & fusil oils that could be present.
Use about 1 Cup of carbon to 4-5 L of Spirit
This will take out the rough edge usually associated with moonshine & leave vodka\'s clean, tasteless & odorless which will be then ready for flavoring.Aquariums (Fresh or Salt Water)
Works really great in carbon reactors, canister filters, Tetra filter refil, or just fill a 300 to 500 micron filter sock up and lay in any power filter
Recommended usage 1/2 per 40 gallons of tank water Change monthly
Note: Make sure you use the right size mesh size media bag 12X40 is a pretty small particle size.Unlimited Other Uses
Excellent for whole house water filters, RO Filters
Liter Boxes, Odors In Refrigerator, and gardeningNotes:
As with all carbon rinse and backwash well before use to remove any excess carbon dust.
This is not a digestible form of Carbon! Used for liquid and vapor phase media filtration only.
