The key force of water purification In the treatment of drinking water, powdered activated carbon can be called the "guardian" of water quality. Water sources often contain various odorous substances, organic matter and some heavy metal ions. These impurities not only affect the taste of water, but may also threaten human health. Powdered activated carbon can efficiently adsorb these harmful substances with its highly developed pore structure. When it is put into the raw water, it quickly mixes with water, and its huge specific surface area is like countless tiny "adsorption traps" to capture impurities in the water. Whether it is geosmin produced by algae or phenolic compounds brought by industrial emissions, it is difficult to escape the adsorption of powdered activated carbon, thus providing people with sweet, safe and reliable drinking water. In the field of sewage treatment, powdered activated carbon also shows its prowess. Sewage has complex composition a...
