Decolorization refers to the removal of color from water or wastewater, and the removal of useless dye genes in wastewater or substances. Such a water treatment process is called decolorization. Activated carbon is often used in the decolorization process. So which type of activated carbon is better for decolorization?
Activated carbon for decolorization often uses wood-based activated carbon, which is generally made from wood powder. Wood-based powdered activated carbon materials are divided into wood chips, walnut shells, apricot shells, coconut shells, peach shells, etc., and are refined through a series of processes. It has the advantages of developed pore structure, large specific surface area, large adsorption capacity, good adsorption performance, fast decolorization speed, fast filtration speed, durability, and easy regeneration. It can be used for decolorization and deodorization of MSG, sugar, alcohol, and beverages in the food industry. It is also widely used in sewage treatment, power plants, electroplating and other industries. Wooden powdered activated carbon is non-toxic and odorless, so it is better to use woody powdered activated carbon for decolorization.
