Applications

Activated Carbon

Adsorption of Colorants: Activated carbon is widely used for decolorizing wastewater by adsorbing colorants and dyes, such as those from textile, paper, and food industries. Its high surface area enables effective removal of a variety of organic color compounds.

Pre-Treatment for Advanced Oxidation: It can serve as a pre-treatment step in advanced oxidation processes, improving the efficiency of subsequent treatments by reducing the load of colorants.

Clarification in Drinking Water: Activated carbon is also employed in drinking water treatment to remove color and organic impurities, enhancing the overall aesthetic quality of the water.

Diatomaceous Earth

Filtration Aid in Color Removal: Diatomaceous earth is utilized as a filtration medium in decolorization processes, capturing suspended solids and contributing to the clarification of liquids by removing colored particles.

Support for Chemical Treatments: It can be used alongside chemical agents in the decolorization process, helping to enhance the effectiveness of flocculants and coagulants that target color compounds.

Enhancement of Biological Treatment: Diatomaceous earth can improve the performance of biological treatment systems by providing a substrate for microbial growth, aiding in the breakdown of color-producing substances.
