Applications in the Air Purification Industry

Odor Removal

Application: Activated carbon is widely used in air purifiers to adsorb odors from cooking, pets, smoke, and other sources.

Characteristics: Its porous structure and large surface area allow it to effectively trap and neutralize a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and unpleasant smells.

Pollutant Adsorption

Application: Activated carbon captures harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, and other toxic compounds present in indoor air.

Characteristics: High adsorption capacity makes it effective in improving indoor air quality by reducing exposure to hazardous substances.

Particulate Filtration

Application: Diatomaceous earth is utilized as a filter medium in air purifiers to capture fine particulate matter, dust, and allergens.

Characteristics: Its fine, porous nature allows for efficient trapping of small particles while maintaining good airflow, enhancing overall filtration efficiency.

Combined Filtration Systems

Application: Many air purifiers use a combination of activated carbon and diatomaceous earth to address both gas-phase and particulate pollution.

Characteristics: This combination enhances the overall effectiveness of the purifier, targeting a broader range of air quality issues.

Moisture Control

Application: In some air purification systems, diatomaceous earth helps control humidity levels by absorbing excess moisture from the air.

Characteristics: This property aids in preventing mold and mildew growth, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

HEPA Filter Support

Application: Activated carbon is often integrated with HEPA filters in air purifiers to provide comprehensive filtration.

Characteristics: While HEPA filters capture particulate matter, activated carbon adsorbs gases and odors, ensuring cleaner air.
