Carbon is a complex material and each application requires distinct adsorption characteristics to achieve the desired result. Carbon’s adsorption affinity for a particular impurity varies widely depending on the nature of the impurity and the actual process chemistry. No single type of carbon performs well in all applications. Carbac® media is formulated with approximately 67% carbon by weight retained in a cellulose matrix.This presents a tortuous flow path to ensure intimate contact of the impurities on the surfaces and within the pores of the carbon. The outcome is optimum adsorption of the impurities.
