Effective VOC hazardous waste gas treatment technology
Organic waste gas adsorption treatment, which is a treatment method that physically adsorbs and collects VOC. Activated carbon, zeolite, silica, etc. are used as adsorbents. Due to its size, the pores of the adsorbent are called micropores with a diameter of 2 nm or less, mesopores with a diameter of 2 to 50 nm, and macropores with a diameter of 2 nm or more. It is the micropores that increase ...
