Acid-Washed Activated Carbon for Industrial Water Treatment

Charcoal and raw-coal crushed carbon can be acid washed to lower heavy metal content — iron down to below 300 ppm — effectively removing COD, colour and odour.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

A Reliable Choice for Advanced Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Briquetted and raw-coal crushed carbon can be acid washed to reduce heavy metal content, with iron lowered to below 300 ppm. Acid-washed carbon effectively removes soluble inorganic ash, reduces TDS, adjusts pH, improves taste, and cuts dust on the carbon surface and within its pores, reducing black-water carry-over.

The product is widely used in industrial wastewater treatment in the petrochemical, metallurgical, printing and dyeing, pharmaceutical and paper-making industries, with marked removal of COD, colour, odour and recalcitrant organics.
