Features of Briquette High-sugar Decolorizing Activated Carbon

1. Developed Micropores, Mesopores, and Macropores

Developed micropores, mesopores, and macropores refer to the various sizes of pores present in the activated carbon structure. Micropores (less than 2 nanometers) are essential for trapping small molecules, while mesopores (2 to 50 nanometers) facilitate the adsorption of medium-sized molecules. Macropores (greater than 50 nanometers) allow for the transport of larger molecules into the activated carbon structure. The combination of these three types of pores ensures that Matex YG activated carbon is highly effective in removing a wide range of impurities from sugar solutions, including color compounds, organic matter, and other contaminants. This developed pore structure is crucial for achieving optimal performance in sugar decolorization processes, allowing for efficient purification and improved product quality.

2. High Specific Surface Area

The high specific surface area of Matex YG briquette activated carbon indicates that it has a large amount of surface area available for adsorption relative to its mass. This feature is vital in applications like sugar decolorization, where a substantial amount of colorants and impurities must be removed. A larger specific surface area enhances the carbon's ability to adsorb more contaminants simultaneously, leading to higher efficiency in the filtration and purification process. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for industries where high levels of clarity and purity in sugar products are required.

3. High Density

High density refers to the compactness of the activated carbon material, which contributes to its mechanical strength and stability during use. In the context of sugar decolorization, high density allows the briquettes to withstand the pressures and flow rates in filtration systems without breaking down. Additionally, the high density ensures that the activated carbon can be packed efficiently in filters or columns, maximizing contact between the sugar solution and the carbon, thereby enhancing adsorption efficiency. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in large-scale industrial applications where reliability and durability are crucial.

4. High Caramel Adsorption Value

The high caramel adsorption value is a critical feature for activated carbon used in sugar decolorization. This value indicates the material's ability to effectively adsorb caramel and other color-producing compounds formed during sugar processing. A high caramel adsorption value means that Matex YG briquette activated carbon is particularly efficient at removing these undesirable colorants, ensuring that the final sugar product is clear and of high quality. This property is essential for the sugar industry, where visual clarity and product appearance directly impact consumer acceptance and marketability.
