aktiivsöefiltri

Aktiivsöefilter is a device that uses activated carbon to remove impurities from liquids or gases. Activated carbon is a form of carbon that has been processed to be extremely porous, giving it a very large surface area. This large surface area allows it to adsorb, or attract and hold, molecules of other substances onto its surface.

In water purification, activated carbon filters are commonly used to remove chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other contaminants that can affect taste and odor. The porous structure of the carbon traps these molecules, leaving the water cleaner and more palatable. These filters are found in various applications, from pitcher filters and faucet attachments to whole-house filtration systems and industrial water treatment plants.

In air purification, activated carbon filters are used to remove odors, smoke, and harmful gases from the air. They are incorporated into air purifiers, ventilation systems, and even gas masks. The effectiveness of an activated carbon filter depends on the type of activated carbon used, the amount of carbon present, and the flow rate of the substance being filtered. Over time, the pores of the activated carbon become saturated with adsorbed substances, and the filter needs to be replaced or regenerated to maintain its efficiency.
