Advantages of carbon rods compared to bulk filter media
By Zhao from Onlyzone,a manufacturer of water treatment bio ceramic ball filter media in China
carbon rod is a new type of water purification filter material, which is a solid carbon material made of activated carbon powder and binder after high temperature compression or sintering. Compared with bulk filter materials, such as granular activated carbon and powdered activated carbon, carbon rods have the following advantages:
- Carbon rods have higher adsorption capacity and filtration efficiency. Due to the more developed pore structure and larger specific surface area of carbon rods, the adsorption properties of activated carbon can be fully utilized to effectively remove residual chlorine, organic matter, odor, pigments, heavy metals and other pollutants in water. At the same time, the filtration accuracy of the carbon rod is also higher, which can reach 1-5 microns, and can intercept fine impurities, suspended solids, bacteria, etc. in the water.
- Carbon rods have better mechanical strength and durability. Since the carbon rod is a solid material, it is not easy to break, fall off, and clog, and can maintain a stable water flow and pressure. The carbon rod is also not easy to be corroded by acid and alkali in water, has good chemical stability and longer service life.
- Carbon rods have lower operating and maintenance costs. Due to the high adsorption capacity and filtration efficiency of carbon rods, the replacement frequency of filter elements can be reduced and the cost of filter elements can be saved. At the same time, carbon rods do not require complex cleaning, regeneration and other operations, only need to be washed regularly, reducing labor and energy consumption.
- Carbon rods have better environmental performance and safety performance. Since the carbon rod is made of natural or regenerated activated carbon, it does not contain harmful substances and will not pollute the environment. At the same time, the carbon rod will not produce secondary pollution, and will not release carbon powder, black water and other substances, ensuring the cleanliness and sanitation of the water.
To sum up, carbon rods, as a new type of water purification filter material, have obvious advantages and potentials compared with bulk filter materials. In the future water purification market, carbon rods will be more widely used and promoted.
