Hydraffin® for Water Treatment
In recent years, the use of activated carbon processes has become widely established in drinking water treatment, groundwater rehabilitation and the treatment of service water.
Likewise, activated carbon is being used to an increasing extent in waste water treatment, whether it be in the systematic treatment of individual effluent streams (e.g. in the chemicals industry), in the removal of substances toxic to bacteria in biological waste water treatment or in tertiary waste water treatment, where effluent restrictions are particularly severe.
Activated carbon is used either in powdered form (suspension process) or granular form (fixed bed process), depending upon the specific application and process.
Hydraffin® types are used for treating:
- Drinking water
- Ground water
- Waste water
- Service water
- Landfill seepage
- Condensate and contact water
- Swimming pool water
- Aquarium water
To create Potable water, they can be used for removal of organic impurities, Dechlorination, removal of ozone and odour, removal of micro pollutants.
Alcarbon® for the Gold Mining Industry
In the mining industry, activated carbon is utilized for gold recovery through a process called carbon-in-pulp (CIP). The porous structure of activated carbon adsorbs gold from cyanide solutions, facilitating the extraction of gold from ore.

Characteristics of Activated Carbon
- High Surface Area: One of the key features of activated carbon is its extremely high surface area. The porous structure of activated carbon provides a large internal surface area, typically ranging from 500 to 1500 square meters per gram. This extensive surface area allows for the adsorption of a wide range of substances.
- Adsorption Capacity: Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity, meaning it can attract and hold molecules onto its surface. This property is crucial for various applications, particularly in the purification of liquids and gases. The adsorption process is highly effective in removing impurities, contaminants, and odors.
- Pore Structure: The porous nature of activated carbon is characterized by a distribution of different pore sizes, including micropores, mesopores, and macropores. This diverse pore structure enhances its ability to adsorb a wide range of molecules with different sizes.
- Chemical Inertness: Activated carbon is chemically inert, making it stable and safe for use in various environments. It does not react with most chemicals, contributing to its suitability for applications where purity is crucial.
- Regenerability: In many cases, activated carbon can be regenerated and reused after reaching its adsorption capacity. The regeneration process involves heating the spent activated carbon to release or decompose the adsorbed substances, restoring its adsorption capabilities.
