Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, pet rooms, closets, gym bags, vehicles, garbage cans, cheese shops, durian fields and more!
Activated charcoal acts as a sponge with the undesired particles and is able to "release and replenish" itself if placed in direct sunlight for at least 1 hour. Heating the charcoal in sunlight opens up its pores, allowing the particles that were previously trapped to be released.
Activated carbon technology is a critical tool in emissions control and also removes harmful and odorous contaminants for the potable water industry.
The porous structure of activated carbon creates significant internal surface area, enabling the rapid adsorption of harmful pollutants. Depending on the treatment, 1 gram of activated carbon has over 32,000 square feet of surface area. 1 teaspoon has roughly the area of a football field!
The reason activated carbon is so powerful in emissions control is due to the adsorption phenomena. Adsorption is when atoms, ions / molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid attach onto a surface. This forms a coating of the adsorbate (in this case, the mercury) on the surface of the adsorbent (the activated carbon).
