Benefits of Activated Carbon and Its Various Applications

Benefits of Activated Carbon
High-efficiency adsorption performance: Acknowledged as the standout aspect of activated carbon is its high-resolution adsorption capacity. This property stems from the complex development of the activated carbon’s internal pore structure. Those microscopic sizes of holes can trap and hold as gas or liquid impurity molecules and, thus, can perform the task of purification.

Chemical stability: Activated carbon is usually chemically inert and does not interact with other chemicals most of the times which makes it operate effectively across a wide pH range and most applicability criteria without being affected by the environment.

Renewability: Regeneration of used activated carbon can be achieved by heat treatment techniques, thus restoring its initial state of adsorbent properties. This characteristic not only brings down the intensity of costs of use in the long term but also minimizes sustainable use of the environmental resources.

Extraction of Gold
High extraction efficiency: In the metallurgical industry, especially during gold recovery, activated carbon is indispensable. In the cyanidation process, activated carbon is beneficial in the adsorption of gold and silver metal ions from diluted ore pulp so as to increase metal recovery.

Agricultural Applications
Soil Improvement: Activated carbon can be applied to enhance the low quality of soil, improvement of soil water retention as well as root growth and development of plants. Moreover, activated carbon can bind toxic contaminants from the soil such as pesticides and heavy metals which influences better crop yield.

Seed treatment: Seeds as well as seedling plants can be treated in a manner that inactivates harmful microorganisms and improves the overall exposure to pathogen infested conditions, destroying seed or seedling plant pathogens that reduce the chances of plant disease.
