Wood Phosphoric Acid Activated Carbon Powder (F series)

Created using high quality wood powder, the F series of activated carbon is mainly used for decolorization and purification in the fields of medicine and chemicals.

Activation with Phosphoric Acid:

Purpose: Phosphoric acid activation is commonly employed for lignocellulosic materials (such as wood or agricultural residues) and is conducted at lower temperatures compared to other methods.

Surface Area: The resulting activated carbon exhibits increased surface area due to the activation process.

Comparison: While zinc chloride can generate even more surface area than phosphoric acid, it is used less frequently due to environmental concerns.

Environmental Considerations: Phosphoric acid activation is preferred for its environmental compatibility.

Applications: Activated carbon produced through phosphoric acid activation finds applications in water treatment, desalination, wastewater treatment, and air purification.

For instance, researchers have prepared activated carbon from bituminous coal using phosphoric acid impregnation followed by carbonization. The resulting carbons exhibited increased surface area and pore volume, which can be advantageous for various applications.

Remember, while we've playfully estimated Mount Everest's height in terms of bananas, activated carbon's impact is far more significant!
