Features of YT-AG series
1. Large Specific Surface Area
The Matex YG YT-AG series of wood-activated carbon boasts a large specific surface area, which refers to the extensive surface available for adsorption. A larger surface area allows the carbon to interact with more contaminants or impurities at a time, making it highly efficient for applications like air, water, or gas purification. This feature ensures that the carbon can adsorb significant amounts of pollutants or substances, increasing its effectiveness in various filtration and purification processes.
2. Developed Macropores
The YT-AG series features well-developed macropores, which are larger pores typically greater than 50 nanometers in diameter. These macropores are essential for facilitating the initial transport of large particles or contaminants to the inner surface of the carbon. By allowing larger molecules to quickly enter the carbon’s structure, the macropores ensure efficient adsorption, particularly in processes that involve larger contaminants, such as in wastewater treatment or industrial filtration.
3. Dense Mesopores and Micropores
In addition to macropores, this wood-activated carbon has a dense network of mesopores (2–50 nanometers) and micropores (less than 2 nanometers). The mesopores help in the intermediate stage of adsorption, trapping medium-sized molecules, while the micropores capture smaller contaminants. The presence of both mesopores and micropores enables the carbon to handle a wide range of particle sizes, making it versatile for applications like decolorization, gas purification, and fine chemical processing, where the removal of various-sized impurities is crucial.
4. Strong Adsorption Rate
The strong adsorption rate of Matex YG YT-AG series activated carbon refers to how quickly it can capture and hold contaminants. This rapid adsorption is essential in applications that require fast and efficient purification, such as in water treatment systems, industrial gas purification, or food and beverage processing. The fast rate ensures that the carbon can remove impurities swiftly, minimizing processing times and improving overall efficiency in both industrial and consumer applications.
