Karbonous - Odor Control Filter Carbon

Odor elimination needs a different strategy than traditional dust and particle management and removal. Standard filtration may efficiently remove solid and dust particles. Specialized filter media can collect even very tiny (sub-micron) particles. A HEPA filter, for example, catches 99.97 percent of 0.3 millimeter particles, including viruses and bacteria.

Most odor control filters are made up of even smaller molecules (0.01 micron or smaller) that are dispersed as a gas or vapor in the air. A HEPA or MERV filter will not catch chemical contaminants or odors. We need to utilize molecular filtration techniques to collect these tiny molecules, which use chemical or physical processes to trap small molecules within the medium. Adsorption is the most widely utilized kind of molecular filtration. The physical attraction of a gas or liquid molecule to a solid surface is known as adsorption. The surface traps the odor molecule via physical forces known as van der Waal’s forces.
