Top 3 Uses of Activated Carbon

Activated carbon is an effective purifier. It is used to remove organic pollutants from different gaseous, liquid and solid substances. By removing the undesirable organic compounds, activated carbon can successfully remove the odour and taste of these compounds from a wide range of things. Unlike other purification agents that react with organic compounds and change their nature, activated ...

What is Activated Carbon?

Adsorption with activated carbon can apply. The more awareness people have of the Earth, the more applications activated carbons will have. is thus a commonly seen process in applications such as gas masks, space capsules, nuclear plants and so forth, in which the removal of gases is highly needed. ...

Replacement of hazardous chromium impregnating agent from silver/copper/chromium-impregnated active carbon

Activated carbon (AC) is widely used as an effective adsorbent in many applications, including industrial-scale air purification systems and air filter systems in gas masks. In general, ACs without chemical impregnation are good adsorbents of organic vapors but poor adsorbents of lowmolecular-weight or polar gases such as chlorine, sulfur dioxide (SO2), formaldehyde, and ammonia (NH3). ...

Legionnaires is an Air Quality Risk

The recent Bronx, NY outbreak of Legionnaires infections is a grim reminder of the deadliness of this strain of pneumonia. Like many of the outbreaks, cooling towers caused this one. Twenty have been identified but the search is still going on. Over 120 people were infected and 12 have died. Tragically it affects the most vulnerable people–people with one or more immune system deficiencies. ...

Air uality in IVF Labs

Since the birth of the first baby from in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) in 1978, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) has grown in importance as techniques and success rates have continued to improve. Put simply, IVF involves mixing sperm and egg in a lab to create an embryo which is then replaced in a woman's womb to develop normally with success being measured in terms ...

PSA Technology hits the Fast Lane

Conventional pressure-swing adsorption (PSA) has been used ito separate and purify industrial gases for more than 35 years. The technology, first developed by ExxonMobil and Air Liquide in the late 1950s, is based upon the capacity of adsorbents to selectively adsorb and desorb particular gases as gas pressure is raised and lowered. PSA is currently used in applications ranging from the ...

Biofilters vs Asdorption

In the last three decades biological technologies have emerged as a sustainable and economically-viable alternative compared to traditional techniques like adsorption/absorption for purifying gases. They were well-received initially in the industry and interesting products with good results were carried out for several years. However, owing to a series of reasons that will be detailed in this ...

Green Urban Infrastructure: Assessing Potential Ecosystem Services in Urban Cities

Cities all over the world are currently experiencing climate change caused by rapidly increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs). Fortunately, cities may mitigate GHG concentrations by incorporating vegetation into green urban infrastructure (GUI) to develop parks, green roofs, waterways, and other structures. For example, plants sequester carbon (C) by removing atmospheric ...

Polluted sites: Groundwater decontamination requires robust level sensors

Whether it be old landfills, coal tips, former military sites or refineries, what remains behind is contaminated ground, which is a danger to both humans and the environment. In the rehabilitation of these sites, level sensors are required which are resistant to the often aggressive hazardous substances encountered. Contaminated sites are not only characterized by adverse health or ...
