Wood activated carbon is made of high-quality pine, sawdust, coconut shell, fruit shell, etc. It is made according to the standards of wood activated carbon by physical, phosphoric acid, zinc chloride and other processes. What are the equipment for making wood activated carbon? What should be paid attention to when using wood activated carbon?
Equipment for making wood activated carbon
1. Carbonization furnace; the appearance is a cylinder installed vertically on the ground, with a feed port and a discharge port.
2. Heating furnace; use this furnace to connect the carbonization furnace to heat from the outside.
3. Liquefaction furnace; the gas in the liquefaction furnace comes from the gas discharged from the carbonization equipment, which is liquefied this time.
4. Activation furnace; the appearance is similar to the carbonization furnace, but the role in the carbonization furnace is different, and the wood activated carbon can be heated to a higher temperature.
5. Mixer; through the mixing equipment, the wood activated carbon can be rotated and stirred at a specified speed, and the activated carbon in the carbonization and activation process can be evenly heated.
6. Crushing equipment and pulverizing equipment; in addition, some crushing equipment and grinding equipment may also be required. Production equipment requires more capital investment, but the current market demand for wood activated carbon is also very large.
Precautions for using wood activated carbon
1. Clean and remove dust before use, otherwise these black dust may temporarily affect the cleanliness of the water quality. However, it is recommended not to rinse directly with tap water, because once the porous wood activated carbon absorbs a large amount of chlorine and bleaching powder in tap water, and then put it into the filter for use, it will damage the water quality.
2. The debris blocked in the porous pores of wood activated carbon cannot be cleaned up by simple cleaning at ordinary times. Therefore, the activated carbon must be replaced regularly to prevent the wood activated carbon from losing its effect due to adsorption saturation. And try not to wait until it expires before replacing it, so as to ensure that the wood activated carbon can continuously remove harmful substances in the aquarium water. It is recommended to replace the activated carbon 1-2 times a month.
3. The efficiency of activated carbon in treating water quality is related to its treatment dosage, and the effect of treating water quality with dosage is usually better.
