In the field of waste gas treatment, activated carbon is a widely used adsorption material that can efficiently remove various volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, how much VOC can 1 ton of activated carbon adsorb? The answer to this question is not a simple number, but is influenced by a number of factors. Huamei activated carbon will explore these factors in depth and provide some reference data in practical applications.

The Quality of Activated Carbon

The quality of activated carbon is one of the key factors to determine its adsorption capacity. In general, the quality of activated carbon is measured by indicators such as specific surface area and iodine adsorption value. The larger the specific surface area, the stronger the adsorption capacity of activated carbon. Under normal circumstances, the adsorption capacity of columnar activated carbon is between 400 and 800 kg, while high-quality activated carbon can reach about 1200 kg.

The Types of VOC

Different kinds of VOC, their molecular structure and properties are different, resulting in the difficulty of adsorption by activated carbon is also different. Common VOCs include toluene, benzene, xylene, ethylene, etc. These compounds have different physical and chemical properties such as molecular size, polarity and boiling point, which directly affect their adsorption capacity on activated carbon.
For example, toluene is a common VOC with a large molecular weight and certain polarity, so its adsorption capacity on activated carbon is high. According to the experimental data, 800 iodine granular activated carbon in the case of low humidity, the adsorption capacity of toluene can reach more than 30%, which means that 1 ton of activated carbon can absorb about 0.4 tons of toluene. For some VOCs with small molecular weight and weak polarity, their adsorption capacity on activated carbon may be relatively low.

The Environmental Humidity

The ambient humidity has a significant effect on the adsorption performance of activated carbon. When the humidity is high, the water molecules in the air will compete for the adsorption site of the activated carbon, reducing its adsorption capacity for VOC. Especially for highly polar VOCs, such as aldehydes and ketones, the effect of humidity is particularly obvious.
In a higher humidity environment, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon may decrease significantly. For example, at a relative humidity of 80%, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon for certain VOCs may be only half of that in a dry environment. Therefore, in practical applications, it is often necessary to prevent the air flow and reduce the humidity to improve the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon.

Temperature

Temperature is also an important factor affecting the adsorption performance of activated carbon. In general, the increase in temperature will lead to a decrease in the adsorption capacity of activated carbon for VOC. This is because increasing temperature increases the kinetic energy of VOC molecules, making it easier to desorb them from the surface of activated carbon.
For example, at room temperature (25 ° C), the adsorption capacity of activated carbon for certain VOCs may reach its maximum, while at high temperatures (such as 50 ° C), its adsorption capacity may be significantly reduced. Therefore, in waste gas treatment, maintaining the appropriate temperature is very important to ensure the efficient adsorption of activated carbon.

Working Conditions

The working conditions include airflow velocity, VOC concentration and activated carbon bed thickness, etc. These factors jointly determine the adsorption effect of activated carbon. In practical applications, high airflow speed will lead to insufficient residence time of VOC on activated carbon and reduce its adsorption efficiency. However, too low airflow speed may lead to increased system resistance and affect the overall treatment effect.
In addition, VOC concentration is also an important factor. At low concentrations, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon may be limited, while at high concentrations, the adsorption site of activated carbon is easily saturated. Therefore, when designing the exhaust gas treatment system, it is necessary to set the VOC concentration and airflow speed reasonably to ensure the best adsorption effect.

Reference Data in Practical Applications

According to the data in practical applications, the VOC adsorption amount of 1 ton of activated carbon can vary greatly. For example, in the treatment of toluene waste gas, 1 ton of high-quality activated carbon under appropriate working conditions, its adsorption capacity can reach more than 0.4 tons. For some VOCs with small molecular weight and weak polarity, the adsorption capacity may be significantly reduced.

In summary, how much VOC can be adsorbed by 1 ton of activated carbon is affected by many factors such as activated carbon quality, VOC types, environmental humidity, temperature and working conditions. In practical applications, it is necessary to consider these factors comprehensively, select the appropriate activated carbon and optimize the system design to ensure the best adsorption effect. For different waste gas treatment needs, it is recommended to carry out detailed experimental tests before actual operation to determine the best process parameters and activated carbon types, so as to achieve the ideal treatment effect.

Activated Carbon Selection and Optimization Suggestions

In order to give full play to the adsorption capacity of activated carbon in practical applications, the following are some suggestions for selecting and optimizing activated carbon:

Select activated carbon with a high specific surface area:

Preferentially select activated carbon with a large specific surface area to provide more adsorption sites. In general, activated carbon with a specific surface area of more than 1000 square meters/gram has better adsorption capacity.

Pay Attention to The Pore Structure of Activated Carbon:

activated carbon with different pore sizes has different adsorption effects on VOC molecules of different sizes. For large molecular weight VOCs, such as toluene and xylene, it is better to choose activated carbon with a larger pore size.

Control of Ambient Humidity:

In a high humidity environment, it is recommended to pretreat the air flow and reduce the humidity to improve the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon. Common methods include the use of dryers or condensers.

Maintain the Appropriate Temperature:

Try to control the system temperature within the normal temperature range to avoid the negative impact of high temperature on the adsorption capacity of activated carbon. If processing high temperature exhaust gas, it is recommended to cool down before activated carbon adsorption.

Optimize The Airflow Speed and VOC Concentration:

When designing the exhaust gas treatment system, set the airflow speed and VOC concentration reasonably
Through the above optimization measures, the adsorption performance of activated carbon can be effectively improved in practical applications, so as to better deal with various VOC waste gases, and achieve the purpose of environmental protection and pollution control.

Conclusion

How much VOC can be adsorbed by 1 ton of activated carbon is a complex problem, which is comprehensively affected by many factors. In practical application, selecting suitable activated carbon and optimizing system design can significantly improve its adsorption effect. By comprehensively considering the quality of activated carbon, VOC types, environmental humidity, temperature and working conditions and other factors, the best adsorption effect can be achieved in the waste gas treatment process, and contribute to environmental protection and pollution control.

Types of Exhaust Gas Produced by Sewage

During the sewage treatment process, many different types of waste gases are produced. These waste gases mainly include:
Sewage contains a large amount of organic matter, which will produce odorous gases during the treatment process. These odorous gases are mainly composed of sulfides (h2s), amine compounds (NH3), etc., which cause serious pollution to the surrounding environment.
Sewage also contains a certain amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).These substances are easily evaporated into the air and are highly toxic and carcinogenic. Therefore, these VOCs need to be effectively controlled and removed during the treatment process.
During the sewage treatment process, some greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane will also be produced. These greenhouse gases have an important impact on global warming and climate change, and require corresponding control and emission reduction.
A wide variety of waste gases are produced during sewage treatment, posing serious threats to the environment and human health. Therefore, we need to take effective waste gas treatment measures to reduce the impact of these waste gases on the environment.

Applications of Activated Carbon

Air and Gas Purification: Because Breathing Shouldn’t Be Fatal

Activated carbon isn’t just for water; it’s also the unsung hero of air purification. Different forms of activated carbon, such as cloth, pelletized, and granular, are employed to filter gases that you’d rather not inhale. For instance, it’s used to remove hydrogen sulfide from natural gas and to ensure that the air conditioning unit in your car doesn’t make you choke on radon and other delightful odors. So next time you take a deep breath, maybe send a thank-you note to the activated carbon silently doing its job.

Mining: Because Gold Doesn’t Extract Itself

In the mining industry, activated carbon is the go-to material for recovering precious metals like gold. Its adsorbent nature allows it to separate carbon from cyanide during the final stages of mining. So, the next time you marvel at a gold ring or necklace, spare a thought for the activated carbon that helped bring that shiny trinket to life.

Food and Beverages: Purity in Every Sip

Activated carbon is also a silent player in the food and beverage sector, ensuring that what you consume isn’t tainted by unwanted flavors or by-products. It’s used to purify concentrated juices, remove impurities from sweeteners, and generally ensure that what you’re eating or drinking is up to snuff. Because nothing says “refreshing” like knowing your drink has been filtered through a material that could just as easily be cleaning up toxic spills.

Water Treatment: The Last Line of Defense

When it comes to water purification, activated carbon is used as both a primary and tertiary treatment. In the initial stages, it helps remove large particles—because who wants to drink chunky water? In the final stages, it improves taste and controls odors. So, whether you’re dealing with city water that tastes like a swimming pool or well water that smells like rotten eggs, activated carbon is your best friend.

Types of Activated Carbon

Granulated Activated Carbon

Granulated activated carbon (GAC) is the type you call on when you need something a bit more substantial than powder but less cumbersome than pellets. It’s primarily used in deodorization, air treatment, and water treatment. GAC offers a smaller external surface than powdered forms, making it the Goldilocks of activated carbon—not too big, not too small, but just right.

Pelletized Activated Carbon

Pelletized activated carbon is essentially powdered carbon that’s been compressed into pellets. It’s like activated carbon on steroids—stronger, more durable, and ideal for gas-phase applications. Thanks to its low dust content, good mechanical strength, and low-pressure drop, pelletized activated carbon is the go-to choice when you need something that won’t crumble under pressure.

Powdered Activated Carbon

Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is the fine stuff, usually added directly to process units like raw water intakes and clarifiers. It’s effective but comes with a caveat—using it in a dedicated vessel can lead to head loss, making it less than ideal for some applications. But when you need a quick fix, PAC is the go-to choice for many.

Impregnated Activated Carbon

Impregnated activated carbon is infused with inorganic impregnates like silver and iodine, making it the overachiever of the bunch. It’s primarily used in the purification of domestic potable water, where its extra chemical kick helps ensure that what comes out of your tap is as clean as possible.

Catalytic Activated Carbon

Catalytic activated carbon, also known as surface-modified activated carbon, doesn’t just adsorb contaminants—it also initiates and enhances chemical processes. This makes it particularly useful in removing contaminants from drinking water. So, not only does it grab onto pollutants, but it also helps break them down, making it the smarty-pants of the activated carbon world.

The Benefits of Activated Carbon in Water Treatment: A Cynical Take

Contaminant Removal: Because Filthy Water Isn’t an Option

Activated carbon’s adsorptive nature makes it incredibly effective at removing contaminants from water. This isn’t just about making water look clear; it’s about making it safe to drink. So, the next time you take a sip of water, remember that activated carbon is working behind the scenes to ensure you’re not ingesting something you shouldn’t be.

Taste and Odor Control: Because We’re Not Animals

Let’s face it: no one wants to drink water that tastes or smells bad. Activated carbon is your best bet for improving the taste and odor of water, turning something that’s barely drinkable into something that’s actually pleasant. So, if you’ve ever enjoyed a glass of water that didn’t taste like it came from a swamp, you’ve got activated carbon to thank.

Versatility: The Jack of All Trades

One of the biggest reasons activated carbon is so popular in water treatment is its ability to absorb a wide range of components. It’s not a one-trick pony; it can handle everything from chlorine to volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This versatility makes it an attractive option for water purification plants that need to get the most bang for their buck.

Reliability and Efficiency: The Old Standby

Activated carbon is nothing if not reliable. It’s been used in water treatment for years and has proven time and again that it can get the job done. As long as you’re using the right type of activated carbon for the job, there’s little chance of failure. It’s a tried-and-true solution that has stood the test of time, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
