GenCarb-700 Activated Carbon
The GenCarb 700 is a high-quality Granular Activated Carbon, used in the purification of potable food-grade water and industrial process liquids.
GenCarb-700 series of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is manufactured from sustainably sourced macadamia nut shells through steam activation. The resulting high-density carbon structure with a highly developed bimodal mesoand micro- and micro-porous structure allows for the adsorption of a range of molecular sizes, making this carbon ideal for a broad range of water treatment applications. Due to this unique structure, this premium grade GAC bridges the gap between conventional coal and coconut carbons and may be used as an effective alternative to either. This product is ideally suited for high-end water treatment applications.
Many carbons preferentially adsorb small molecules. Iodine number is the most fundamental parameter used to characterize activated carbon performance. It is a measure of activity level (higher number indicates a higher degree of activation) often reported in mg/g (typical range 300–1200 mg/g). It is a measure of the micropore content of the activated carbon (0 to 20 Å, or up to 2 nm) by adsorption of iodine from the solution. It is equivalent to the surface area of carbon between 900 and 1100 m2/g. So essentially, the greater the Iodine Number Rating on an Activated Carbon Block, the more effectively the carbon will absorb things such as chlorine and organic molecules.
