When it comes to the multiple applications of activated carbon in the petroleum industry, the excellent adsorption capacity of activated carbon becomes the key to improving petroleum product quality and environmental protection.

Optoelectronic wafer fabs are precision manufacturing industries with strict air filtration requirements, so customized and high surface area activated carbon is necessary during production.

Activated carbon, a versatile adsorbent with a wide range of applications, has found its place in the world of winemaking. In recent years, winemakers have increasingly turned to activated carbon to improve the quality of their wines. From decolorization and taste adjustment to iron removal and water purification, activated carbon offers a range of benefits. In this blog post, we will explore the various aspects of activated carbon's role in wine production and its impact on flavor, appearance, and overall wine quality.

Engine oil plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth functioning and longevity of vehicles, but its continuous use leads to inevitable degradation and contamination. Improper disposal of waste engine oil poses a significant environmental risk, as it can contaminate soil, water sources, and harm ecosystems. However, there is a solution that not only addresses the issue of used engine oil but also contributes to sustainable resource management – activated carbon filtration.

Impregnated activated carbon is a specialized form of activated carbon that has been infused with specific chemicals or substances to enhance its adsorption capabilities for targeted compounds. This advanced material plays a crucial role in various applications, including air and water purification, gas masks, chemical filtration, and more. By impregnating activated carbon with carefully selected agents, its adsorption properties can be tailored to capture and remove specific pollutants or contaminants more effectively.

Solvent recovery is to recover organic waste gas through a certain recovery process and reuse it in production to reduce air pollution and production costs. Activated carbon for solvent recovery is the common adsoprption method.

Activated carbon plays a key role in the gold refining process. Its ultra-high porosity structure makes it a powerful adsorbent for gold recovery from cyanide solutions. After the metal ore is ground, it reacts with the cyanide solution to form a gold cyanide complex, and then the gold is adsorbed through activated carbon and recovered. Characteristics of activated carbon such as adsorption capacity, adsorption rate and particle size distribution are critical to gold recovery. As the most commonly used type, coconut shell activated carbon is ideal for gold extraction due to its superior hardness and pore structure.

In the field of biogas desulfurization, activated carbon has been regarded as the excellent adsorbent. It has better adsorption capacity and can effectively remove harmful components such as hydrogen sulfide.

Geosmin(GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) are the main sources of malodor in drinking water. The main reason for the production of these two substances is seaweed pollution. The odor thresholds of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) are so low that very small amounts can cause unpleasant odors and tastes in drinking water. Therefore, it is very important to remove geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB).

Activated carbon (or activated charcoal) is one of the most popular options for removing chlorophyll and other unwanted non-active pigments in ethanol extracts. While activated carbon is quite effective at pigment removal, it is also very effective at removing active compounds.
