What does activated carbon do in an air filter

Activated carbon plays a vital role in activated carbon air filters. As a porous carbon-containing substance, activated carbon has a large specific surface area and can adsorb and fix a variety of pollutants in the air. In the air filter, activated carbon mainly plays the following roles:


1.‌ Adsorption of harmful gases ‌ : Activated carbon can effectively adsorb harmful gases in the air, such as formaldehyde, benzene, TVOCs (total volatile organic compounds) and so on. These gases often come from decoration materials, furniture, chemicals, etc., posing a potential threat to human health. Through the adsorption of activated carbon, the concentration of these harmful gases can be significantly reduced and the indoor air quality can be improved.

2.Odor removal ‌ : Activated carbon can also adsorb and remove odor molecules in the air, such as tobacco smell, cooking smell, musty smell. These odors not only affect the comfort of the indoor environment, but also may mask the presence of other harmful gases. Activated carbon's strong adsorbability makes it excellent at removing odors


3.Auxiliary particulate filtration ‌ : Although the main role of activated carbon is to adsorb gases and odors, it can also assist in filtering particulate pollutants in the air to a certain extent. When particulate pollutants come into contact with the surface of activated carbon, they may be captured by micropores or grooves on its surface, thus playing a role in purifying the air. However, it should be noted that activated carbon is not the main material for particulate filtration, and its filtration effect is relatively limited.

In summary, activated carbon effectively removes harmful gases, odors and some particulate pollutants in the air through its strong adsorption effect in the air filter, providing a high-quality air environment for the clean room. When selecting and using activated carbon air filters, factors such as their adsorption performance, service life and replacement cycle should be fully considered to ensure their long-term stable operation and best results.
