Low-Grade Carbon
Low-Grade Carbon
Low-grade carbon are types of activated carbons with a lower adsorption capacity and fewer impurities removed during their production. They are typically less refined and may have less surface area compared to higher-grade activated carbons. Despite their lower performance, they are cost-effective and suitable for less demanding applications where high adsorption efficiency is not critical.
Applications of Low-Grade Carbons:
- Edible Oil Refining: Used to remove minor impurities, odors, and pigments from oils in a more economical way compared to higher-grade carbons.
- Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP): Utilized in wastewater treatment to remove organic compounds, suspended solids, and other pollutants in a cost-effective manner.
- Basic Water Filtration: Can be used to treat water with lower levels of contaminants, providing basic filtration for industrial uses.
Low-grade carbons are ideal where the need for high performance is balanced with cost efficiency.
