Surface area plays a vital role in determining the kinetics reactions of the adsorption, dissolution and catalytic processes and through which an adsorbent interacts with the adsorbates.
Particle size distribution of activated carbon is an important parameter in specifying carbons for specific applications as it significantly affects operating conditions such as pressure drop, filterability, backwash rate requirements and the rate of adsorption of adsorbates.
For smaller particles, the rate of diffusion of adsorbates into pores and its subsequent adsorption is significantly increased as it reduces the amount of contact time required.
As the existence of certain trace elements may significantly disrupt process performance and lead to undesired outcome, trace elements of our food grade activated carbon are detected and measured by using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer.
