Technical parameters and Specifications of activated carbon (Active Carbon)
Iodine index
Iodine index is a kind of basic index that characterizes the area of pores inside the molecular structure of coal, and the adsorption capacity of coal is calculated by the mass of iodine that can be adsorbed by a cubic unit. amount of coal (mg/g).
The iodine index is proportional to the level of activation and the quality of the coal. If the iodine number is higher, it means the quality of activated carbon is good. Usually, the standard level of iodine will fall between 500 - 1200 mg/g.
Coal hardness
The hardness of coal represents the ability of coal to resist abrasion and dissolve during use. This is a very important parameter because in the process of use, coal will be subjected to many impacts such as: leaching of the flow, the impact of pressure, physical force during transportation...
If the hardness of coal is more stable, the use efficiency and economic efficiency will be higher. Normally, the hardness of coal mainly depends on the production materials and production process.
Particle size distribution
The particle size is a factor that directly affects the accessibility of the adsorbent to the surface of the coal. The smaller the particle size, the easier it is to access and the faster the adsorption process will take place.
Size, pore volume and specific surface area
The size of the pore is calculated by the distance between the two edges of the groove or the diameter of the foam tube.
The specific surface area of activated carbon is measured in m2/g and is a very important parameter for coal, indicating the adsorption capacity of activated carbon. 95% of the specific surface area of coal is the area of micropores. Mesoporous pores have a surface area that does not exceed 5% of the total surface area of the coal. Large pores are not significant in the activity of coal because their specific surface area is negligible.
