Granular Activated Carbon manufacturer and supplier
Granular Activated Carbon has a relatively larger particle size compared to powdered Activated Carbon and consequently, presents a smaller external surface. Diffusion of the adsorbate is thus an important factor. These carbons are therefore preferred for all absorption of gases and vapors as their rate of diffusion are faster. Granulated carbons are used for water treatment, deodorization and separation of components of flow system and is also used in rapid mix basins. GAC can be either in granular or extruded form.
DETERMINATION OF M.B. VALUE OF ACTIVATED CARBON REAGENT:
Methylene Blue Solution – Dissolve 0.15 gram of methylene blue confirming to IS: 2230-1962 in 100 ml of Distilled Water (Distilled water having pH value 7.0). PROCEDURE : Weigh accurately about 0.1 gram of the material, as received, with accuracy of 0.01 gram and transfer to 50 ML Glass stoppered flask. Add from a burette 10 ml of methylene blue solution and shake for 5 minutes. After the first 10 ml are decolorized continue to add methylene blue solution (1 ml at a time) till the blue colour disappears for 5 minutes. Decolorizing power of Activated Carbon is expressed in terms of milligrams of methylene blue adsorbed by 1 gram of activated carbon. (This value is MB value).
CALCULATION :
DECOLOURIZING POWER = 15 x V Divided by 10 x M
Where V = volume in ml of methylene blue solution consumed, and M = mass in gram of the material taken for the test. (Use methylene blue of any standard company to prepare solution and compare solution with standard solution of methylene blue as it does vary batch to batch).
