Specifically, activated carbon can effectively remove the following types of impurities:

Hazardous substances in gas
Adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene, and ammonia in decoration pollution.
Remove odor molecules in the air in refrigerators, cars, and rooms, such as food odors, cigarette odors, etc.
Purification of oil gas, CS₂, CO₂ in industrial waste gas and cigarette filtration, etc.
Pollutants in water
Residual chlorine, pesticide residues, dyes, oil stains, organic by-products and other soluble organic impurities.
Improve the taste of drinking water, remove odors and pigments, and be used in water purifiers and ultrapure water preparation.
It is used industrially for decolorization of MSG mother liquor, beverage refining, electroplating wastewater treatment, etc.
Heavy metal ions (requires specific conditions or modification treatment)
Ordinary activated carbon has limited adsorption capacity for heavy metals, but modified activated carbon (such as loading metal ions) can significantly improve the adsorption performance of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and chromium.
Through Cu²⁺ modified super activated carbon, efficient and simultaneous adsorption of various heavy metal ions such as Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), etc. can be achieved.
Other apps
It is used medically to absorb gastrointestinal toxins during drug overdose or poisoning.
Used in industry for solvent recovery, decolorization and purification, catalyst carrier, etc.
