How to use activated carbon?
Activated carbon is widely used in households and industries to remove odors and purify air, water and soil. Proper use of activated carbon can maximize its adsorption properties and extend its service life.
1. Remove odors: Place an appropriate amount of activated carbon in places where odors need to be removed, such as refrigerators, cabinets, shoe cabinets, etc. Activated carbon absorbs odor molecules in the air and freshens the air.
2. Purify the air: You can buy a special activated carbon air purifier, or you can choose an air purifier with an activated carbon filter layer. Placing activated carbon indoors can absorb harmful gases and particles in the air and improve indoor air quality.
3. Purify water quality: Wrap an appropriate amount of activated carbon in cotton cloth and put it into a water dispenser or tap to remove odors, organic substances, heavy metal ions, etc. in the water. However, activated carbon should be replaced regularly to maintain its purification effect.
4. Purify the soil: In fruit and vegetable planting, some activated carbon can be added to the soil, which helps to absorb harmful substances and heavy metal ions in the soil and protect the healthy growth of plants.
Precautions when using activated carbon
1. Regular replacement: The adsorption capacity of activated carbon is limited. After being used for a period of time, it will gradually become saturated and no longer play a purifying role. Therefore, regular replacement of activated carbon is necessary.
2. Storage method: Activated carbon should be stored in a dry and ventilated place to avoid moisture and high temperature environments. Once activated carbon gets wet, it will reduce the adsorption capacity of activated carbon.
3. Appropriate usage amount: Place the required amount of activated carbon according to the specific use environment and needs. Generally speaking, in large spaces or places that require long-term use, more activated carbon needs to be used to ensure the purification effect.
The above is the correct way to use activated carbon. Reasonable use of activated carbon can improve the quality of life and the level of environmental protection.
