Activated Carbon Filter

Top supplier in the Chinese activated carbon industry,

Factory Supply Customized Honeycomb Activated Carbon Filter,

To Reduce Common Household Dust, Pollen, Mites, and Other Particles.

Description

Honeycomb activated carbon filters are high-efficiency air purification materials featuring a robust honeycomb substrate infused with premium coconut or nut shell activated carbon. The unique honeycomb channel design significantly increases surface area and adsorption efficiency, while maintaining excellent airflow permeability and low wind resistance. Widely used in industrial waste gas treatment, air purification equipment, environmental protection projects, and residential fresh air systems, this product has become a core solution for VOC removal and air quality improvement amid increasingly stringent global environmental standards.

Coconut shell activated carbon

Produced from high-quality coconut shells through a steam activation process, coconut shell activated carbon is renowned for its exceptional adsorption capacity, high mechanical strength, and extensive microporous structure. It is available in four precise particle size grades: 0.5-1mm (fine), 1-2mm (small), 2-4mm (medium), and 4-8mm (coarse). Each size caters to specific applications: finer granules excel in water purification and gas phase adsorption due to their larger surface area, while larger sizes are ideal for flow-sensitive processes and industrial air/water treatment systems. This versatile material is widely used in drinking water filtration, gold recovery, food and beverage decolorization, and various environmental protection projects. Its high hardness and low dust generation make it a durable and efficient choice for both domestic and industrial purification needs.

Activated Carbon Granular Filled Filters

Honeycomb activated carbon filters feature granular activated carbon densely packed within a structured honeycomb matrix. As air passes through, the carbon effectively captures and eliminates odors, VOCs, cigarette smoke, pet odors, and other gaseous pollutants. Known for their high adsorption capacity, these filters are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial air purification systems.

Activated carbon air filters are widely used to remove odors, gases, and VOCs across multiple scenarios:

Home Air Purifiers: Eliminate cooking smells, pet odors, smoke, and chemicals from household products.

Commercial Spaces: Improve air quality in offices, hotels, restaurants, and gyms by neutralizing persistent odors.

Industrial Applications: Treat exhaust fumes, chemical emissions, and process odors in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and parking garages.

Specialized Uses: Protect sensitive environments like laboratories, hospitals, and museums from airborne pollutants.

Air filter combination

Primary filter: It can filter out dust particles larger than 0.5 microns. It can be cleaned and effectively prolong the service life of other filters..

HEPA Filter: Equipped with an efficient filter, it can remove dust and bacteria as small as 0.3μ, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

Activated carbon filter: Absorb odors, treat VOCs, and make the air fresher.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does an activated carbon filter work?

Activated carbon filters use a process called adsorption (not absorption). The surface of the carbon is covered with millions of tiny pores, creating a massive surface area. As air or water passes through, chemical pollutants, gases, and odors (like VOCs, smoke, or chlorine) are trapped within these pores. This physically removes them from the air or water stream, leaving behind cleaner, odor-free output.

2. What's the difference between Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and Carbon Block filters?

  • Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): Contains loose granules of carbon. It offers good flow rates and is common in large-scale water filters and air purifiers. However, water can sometimes channel around the granules, reducing contact time and efficiency.

  • Carbon Block: Made from fine GAC powder compressed into a solid block with a binding agent. This creates a denser structure with more surface area and a longer contact path, typically making it more effective at removing a wider range of contaminants, including finer particles and certain chemicals like PFAS.

3. What contaminants do activated carbon filters remove?

Activated carbon filters are highly effective at removing:

  • Chlorine, taste, and odor from water.

  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and harmful gases from air.

  • Chemicals and pesticides.

  • Adsorbable organic halogens (AOX)
    It is important to note that standard carbon filters cannot effectively remove dissolved minerals, salts, heavy metals (like arsenic or fluoride), or microorganisms. For these, a combination with other technologies like Reverse Osmosis (RO) or UV light is needed.

4. How often should I replace my activated carbon filter?

Replacement intervals depend on usage and contaminant levels, but a general guideline is:

  • Air Purifier Filters: Every 3-6 months.

  • Water Pitcher Filters: Every 2 months or after filtering ~40 gallons.

  • Under-Sink & Whole-House Filters: Every 6-12 months.
    A clear sign it’s time to change is a reduction in flow rate (for water) or the return of odors (for air). Always follow your manufacturer’s specific recommendations for optimal performance.
