BONE CHAR ACTIVATED GRANULAR CHARCOAL
(Coarse Mesh)
Our GAC824-BC activated bone char granular charcoal is a unique carbonaceous adsorbent manufactured from the treatment and carbonization of selected grades of animal bone and is used for liquid phase filtration to remove organic and inorganic species such as color bodies and many heavy metals. Bone char is different from activated carbon in that it contains both carbon surface area and hydroxyapatite lattice surface area.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Good adsorption of various heavy metals
- Produced from aged bones for better efficiency
- Maintains alkalinity in adsorbate
