What is the difference between bamboo charcoal and activated carbon

House decoration will inevitably appear in the formaldehyde and other harmful substances, all many owners will move in before the indoor deformaldehyde treatment, treatment is commonly used is bamboo charcoal and activated carbon, these substances can adsorb formaldehyde as soon as possible, to prevent the physical hazards caused by this substance.

 

Bamboo charcoal and activated charcoal are essentially different substances, from the use of advantages, activated charcoal is more effective. Because activated carbon in the processing of the process is more special, the internal pore size is also very developed, so the overall adsorption capacity will be stronger. At the same time, the hardness of activated carbon is also higher than bamboo charcoal, in the long-term use, bamboo charcoal is easy to break and form powder, thus affecting the overall use. However, the hardness of activated charcoal is very high, it is not easy to turn into powder during use, and the overall adsorption capacity will be very long-lasting, so activated charcoal is better.

 

Bamboo charcoal preparation takes the minimalist route, where bamboo is transformed into charcoal material through only the carbonisation of insulated air pyrolysis. Activated charcoal can be 'rolled' up, carbonisation is only the basis, followed by activation, pickling, drying and other fine processes. Activation is called the core, by physical or chemical means, at high temperatures so that the internal pore structure of the carbon material becomes complex, the specific surface area of a large increase in the adsorption sites of the sea increase, as if the activated carbon to open the 'adsorption of the plug-in'; pickling is responsible for sweeping the impurities and ash, purification of the internal; drying to protect the stability of the water to prevent the mess. With the synergistic power of these processes, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon far exceeds that of bamboo charcoal.

 

From the microstructure, the two are worlds apart. Bamboo charcoal void than activated carbon, can be defeated in the small surface area, weak adsorption. Activated carbon internal pore super-developed, rich pore with a large surface area, can efficiently 'capture' molecules, ions. With the microstructure of this 'king bomb', activated carbon adsorption performance in air purification, water quality treatment and other applications 'kill crazy', all-round crush bamboo charcoal.
