    Columnar activated carbon is made of coal, coconut shell, and wood chips as raw materials. It is refined through a series of production processes.coconut shell charcoal  The appearance is black cylindrical particles. It is widely used in gas treatment, sewage treatment, desulfurization and denitrification, solvent recovery, nitrogen generators, and air separation equipment. , Painting workshop and other fields.

        

    So, what is the reason for the pulverization of columnar activated carbon in use?

     

    1. The intensity is not up to standard

     

    The strength of the columnar activated carbon is low. During the water treatment process, the activated carbon particles will have friction, and the edges and corners will be broken due to the friction, resulting in black powder. The amount of black powder increases as the strength of the columnar activated carbon decreases. Once the black powder arrives The predetermined amount will affect the normal filtration of the columnar activated carbon, which is very troublesome. Therefore, insufficient strength is one of the reasons for the pulverization of columnar activated carbon.

     

    1. Untreated before use

     

    When using columnar activated carbon, dust must be removed, otherwise the black dust will affect the cleanliness of the water. If it is not processed before use, it will cause an illusion of chalking. That is caused by the dust on the surface of the columnar activated carbon, which does not affect the quality and use effect of the activated carbon.

     

    1. External factors

        

    The three forces of impact, squeeze and abrasion will mechanically break the columnar activated carbon. Among these three forces, abrasion or grinding force is a common cause of dust formation in actual use.activated-carbon-pellets.com
