Product Information

Activated carbon is most commonly used to filter water. It improves water quality, eliminates unpleasant odors, and removes chlorine and other pollutants. However, it’s not sufficient for eliminating certain toxic organic compounds, significant levels of metals, fluoride, or pathogens. Due to its high degree of microporosity, one gram of activated carbon has a surface area in excess of 3,000m 2 (32,000sqft) [1] [2] [4] as determined by gas adsorption. [1] [2] [5] Charcoal, before activation, has a specific surface area in the range of 2.0–5.0m 2/g. [6] [7] An activation level sufficient for useful application may be obtained solely from high surface area. Further chemical treatment often enhances adsorption properties.

Step 1 – Cut the bottle in half. Flip the bottles top half over and place it inside of the bottom half, essentially the top half will serve as a funnel into the bottom half. The filter is built into the top part of the bottle. Carbon monoxide is not well adsorbed by activated carbon. This should be of particular concern to those using the material in filters for respirators, fume hoods or other gas control systems as the gas is undetectable to the human senses, toxic to metabolism and neurotoxic. a b Nwankwo, I. H. (2018). "Production And Characterization Of Activated Carbon From Animal Bone" (PDF). American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER). 7 (7): 335–341. Step 6 – Add your charcoal on top of the cloth. If you are struggling to fit all the materials, you may have to smash it down slightly to have it fit inside the bottle. To create your simple filter for scientific purposes, you will need very similar materials. These materials include:

If you’re concerned about the quality of your drinking water, now’s the time to begin exploring different water treatment options to prevent the unthinkable. During your search, you’re likely to encounter a powerful water purification method that has risen in popularity with American households and municipalities: activated carbon filtration.Alvarez PM, Beltrán FJ, Gómez-Serrano V, Jaramillo J, Rodríguez EM (2004). "Comparison between thermal and ozone regenerations of spent activated carbon exhausted with phenol". Water Research. 38 (8): 2155–2165.

Oxidation in the liquid phase is caused by a wide range of reagents (HNO 3, H 2O 2, KMnO 4). [57] [58] [59] When you use charcoal, there are many minerals that still pass through the filter that can actually be very beneficial. While the charcoal will remove any nasty chemicals and impurities, the material allows good minerals to pass through. Many other filtering systems remove all impurities and even remove important minerals that are healthy for the body. Molasses number or molasses efficiency is a measure of the mesopore content of the activated carbon (greater than 20 Å, or larger than 2 nm) by adsorption of molasses from solution.
