The role of coconut shell activated carbon in water purifiers?

Coconut shell activated carbon plays a vital role in the field of water purifiers. Its excellent adsorption performance makes it an indispensable filter material in water purifiers. The following are the main functions of coconut shell activated carbon in the field of water purifiers:

Adsorption of impurities: Coconut shell activated carbon has a developed pore structure and a huge specific surface area (usually 500~1200m²/g), which enables it to effectively adsorb various impurities in water, including suspended matter, colloids, organic matter (such as synthetic detergents, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, synthetic dyes, trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, endocrine disruptors such as phthalates PAES, etc.), heavy metals (such as mercury, silver, cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, etc.) and radioactive substances. If these impurities are not removed, they may cause harm to human health.

Removal of residual chlorine: Municipal tap water often contains residual chlorine, which is used for disinfection and sterilization. However, the presence of residual chlorine may affect the taste and odor of water, and may even react with organic matter in water to form harmful halogenated hydrocarbons. Coconut shell activated carbon can remove residual chlorine in water through redox reaction, thereby improving the taste and smell of water and reducing the generation of harmful substances.

Improve the taste of water: Coconut shell activated carbon can absorb odor substances in water, such as petroleum, phenol, etc., making the water sweet and delicious. This is crucial to improving the quality of drinking water.

Decolorization: Coconut shell activated carbon can not only remove the color of water, but also effectively reduce the chroma of organic matter, thereby improving the removal efficiency of organic matter and making the water clearer and more transparent.

In summary, coconut shell activated carbon has multiple functions in the field of water purifiers. It can effectively remove various impurities and harmful substances in water, improve the taste and smell of water, and improve the quality and safety of drinking water. Therefore, coconut shell activated carbon is widely used in various types of water purifiers and has become an important material to ensure the safety of people's drinking water.
