Activated Carbon Block Filter /Coconut Carbon Block Filter/Coal Carbon Block Filter/Sintering Carbon Block Filter for different customer's requirements
A carbon block filter is a type of water filter that uses activated carbon to remove impurities. The activated carbon is compressed into a block or cartridge, which is then placed in the filter housing. Carbon block filters are commonly used in residential and commercial water filtration systems to remove chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, and other chemicals, as well as bad tastes and odors.
The size of a carbon block filter varies depending on the specific application and the amount of water that needs to be filtered. Some carbon block filters are small enough to fit in a standard water pitcher, while others are large enough to be used in industrial applications. For home applications, it’s 10inches. there are different types of connecting on the both end sides.
Activated carbon filters have a finite lifetime, and need to be replaced periodically. The frequency of replacement depends on the water usage and the level of contaminants present in water. It is recommended to change carbon block filter every 6-12 months.
Coconut carbon block filters are made from coconut shell and are known for high performance and long lifespan. Coal carbon block filters are made from coal and have similar performance as coconut carbon block filters. Sintering carbon block filter is made by sintering the carbon particles together at high temperature to form a carbon block. They are known for high adsorption capacity and high filtration efficiency.
Activated carbon is an essential material in water purifiers, and two common types are sintered carbon and compressed carbon. The main difference between the two lies in their preparation process and pore structure.
Sintered carbon is made by compressing top-quality activated carbon powder into blocks and sintering them at high temperatures. This method creates many micropores and mesopores, making sintered carbon incredibly porous and highly adsorptive. This makes it ideal for removing organic matter and color from water.
Conversely, compressed carbon is made by compressing carbon powder into blocks and chemically activating it. The pore structure of compressed carbon is complex, with micropores, mesopores, and macropores. Although its adsorption capacity is slightly weaker than that of sintered carbon, it is more efficient in removing chlorine and odors from water.
Selecting the appropriate activated carbon material for water purification is critical and based on water quality and pollutants to be removed. If the pollutants have an iodine value of more than 1000, sintered carbon is recommended because it can efficiently remove organic matter, color, iodine, and other organic substances from water. However, if the water contains chlorine and odors, it is necessary to use compressed carbon as well for a better water purification effect.
