Production of Carbon Filters

Adsorption Steam Activation Chemical Activation

Process where air or water
react chemically with
activated carbon which causes
them to stick to the filter.
The carbonized material is
gasified using steam with
temperatures between 800°C
and 1000°C. Air is then
introduced to burn out the
gasses only, which produces a
graded, screened and de-
dusted form of activated
carbon. This method produces
activated carbon ideal for
adsorbing both liquid phase
and vapor phase compounds.
Carbon is filled with a
powerful dehydrating agent,
typically a paste form of
phosphoric acid or zinc
chloride. The paste is heated
to temperatures between
500°C and 800°C to activate
the carbon. This method
produces activated carbon
that is suitable for adsorbing
large molecules.
Production of Ceramics
Raw Material Procurement
Materials to be used can
range from relatively
impure clay materials
mined from natural
deposits to ultrahigh purity
powders prepared by
chemical synthesis.
Beneficiation Batching
Beneficiation has 6 steps. First is This process is the part
comminution, which reduces the where the amount,
particle size of the raw material. weighing and initial blended
Second is purification which of the raw materials are
separates the undesirable materials. calculated
Third is sizing, the materials are
classified and separated into size
ranges. Fourth is calcining which
removes undesirable gases and
brings about structural
transformation to produce the
desired composition by heating the
material below its melting point.
Fifth is liquid dispersion where
ceramic powders are sometimes
used to make slurries. The sixth is
granulation which is accomplished by
direct mixing.
 Green Machining
This process uses machines
to eliminate rough surfaces
and seams or to modify the
shape.
Drying
This process is used to
strike a balance between
minimizing drying time and
avoiding differential
shrinkage, warping, and
distortion.
Forming Mixing
