Description
Powdered activated carbons (PAC) play a critical role in a vast and diverse range of applications. Decolorization, deodorization or the removal of other trace impurities are amongst the most common applications where PAC are widely used in the pharmaceutical as well as in the food & beverage industries. Due to their unique adsorption characteristics, PAC are also used in biotechnological processing and the production of fine chemicals. In order to meet these various demands, there is a large number of activated carbons available, offering different levels of activation, molecular structure and purity levels. Using activated carbon in an immobilized form (e.g. in a depth filter sheet or lenticular module) offers significant benefits in handling, cleaning and time (cost savings), compared to using PAC. FILTROX CARBOFILTM products bring out all the benefits of immobilized activated carbon versus PAC. Furthermore, the adsorption efficiency of immobilized activated carbon is higher than with an equivalent amount of bulk PAC.
