Silcarbon - Air Purification Water Treatment - Brochure

One of the main applications of Silcarbon activated carbon is the treatment of liquids, especially water. Basically a distinction is made between: Drinking water purification, Groundwater treatment and Waste water treatment. The pollutants found by treating water with activated carbon mostly manifest themselves as solvents, hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons. The activated carbon removes these organic substances from the water. Treatment of swimming pool water by means of activated carbon does not fit in this scheme. In fact it is more a matter of dechlorination or deozonization then of removing adsorptive pollutants. The activated carbon catalytically breaks down the chlorine and ozone respectively. Activated carbon made of coconut shells, like Silcarbon K 835 or Silcarbon K 814, is very hard and therefore extremely resistant to the aggressive chlorine or ozone and so exceptionally suitable for dechlorination and deozonization. For water treatment Powdered carbon, Granular carbon, Fine pelletized carbon are used.
