Granular Activated Carbon
Description
Description
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is characterized by larger particle sizes in comparison to powdered form. This results in a smaller external surface area, making diffusion of the adsorbate a significant factor. As a result, GAC is the preferred choice for absorbing gases and vapours due to its faster diffusion rate. It finds application in water treatment, deodorization, and separation of components in flow systems. GAC can be in the form of either granules or extrusions.
