Activated carbon has a wide range of applications in water filtration, and its advantage lies in its efficient adsorption capacity. Here are a few of the main applications of activated carbon in water filtration and its mechanism of action.

Activated Carbon for Water Filtration:

Home Drinking Water Filtration:

Water Filters and Pitchers: Many home water filter pitchers, water filter bottles, and tap water filters use activated carbon filters to remove chlorine, organic compounds, and odors and tastes from water.

Water Purifier Systems: Activated carbon filters in home water purifier systems can remove contaminants from water, providing safer and better tasting drinking water.

Industrial Water Treatment:

Wastewater Treatment: In industrial wastewater treatment, activated carbon is used to adsorb organic pollutants and some inorganic ions, reducing the concentration of harmful substances in the water body.

Drinking Water Supply: Activated carbon is also used in municipal drinking water supply to remove chlorine and other organic pollutants from water bodies to ensure water quality safety.

Aquariums and Ponds: In aquarium and pond management, activated carbon is used to remove organic pollutants, odors, and drug residues that are harmful to fish, and keep the water clean.

Food and Beverage Industry: Activated carbon is used to treat water used to make food and beverages, ensuring its purity and suitability.
