Activated Carbon- Ag Grade Activated Carbon Ag Grade
Catalog Number Q106 Definition Our AG Grade is a granular activated carbon, made out of coconut shells and out of mineral carbon, to which a silver film has been deposited as a bacteriostatic agent that avoids microorganisms growth inside purifiers. CAS Number 7440-44-0 Application Water usually has a small amount of organic mater that can be extracted with activated carbon purifiers. However, with time, bacteria start feeding on the retained organic mater. This turns the purifier into a bacteria farm, specially when the purifier is not in use. Our Ag Grade was designed to avoid this bacteria growth in domestic purifiers and also removes chlorine, odor, taste, color and impurities from water.
Activated Carbon can also be used for air purification and conditioning, solvent recovery, waste treatment, removal of sulfur dioxide from stack gases and "clean" rooms, deodorant, removal of jet fumes from airports, catalyst natural-gas purification, brewing, decolorizing of sugar, chromium electroplating.
