活性炭介绍(英文版)
活性炭 activated carbon
活性炭activated carbon是一种黑色粉状，粒状或丸状的无定形具有多孔的碳，主要成分为碳，还含少量氧、氢、硫、氮、氯。
也具有石墨那样的精细结构，只是晶粒较小，层层间不规则堆积。
具有较大的表面积(500～1000米2/克)，有很强的吸附性能，能在它的表面上吸附气体、液体或胶态固体；对于气体、液体，吸附物质的质量可接近于活性炭本身的质量。
其吸附作用具有选择性，非极性物质比极性物质更易于吸附。
在同一系列物质中，沸点越高的物质越容易被吸附，压强越大温度越低浓度越大，吸附量越大。
反之，减压，升温有利于气体的解吸。
常用于气体的吸附、分离和提纯，溶剂的回收，糖液、油脂、甘油、药物的脱色剂，饮用水及冰箱的除臭剂，防毒面具中的滤毒剂，还可用作催化剂或金属盐催化剂的载体。
早期生产活性炭的原料为木材、硬果壳或兽骨，后来主要采用煤，经干馏、活化处理后得到活性碳生产方法有：①蒸汽、气体活化法。
利用水蒸气或二氧化碳在850～900℃将碳活化。
②化学活化法。
利用活化剂放出的气体，或用活化剂浸渍原料，在高温处理后都可得到活性炭。
活性炭具有微晶结构，微晶排列完全不规则，晶体中有微孔（半径小于20［埃］＝10-10米）、过渡孔（半径20～1000）、大孔（半径1000～100000），使它具有很大的内表面，比表面积为500～1700米2／克。
这决定了活性炭具有良好的吸附性，可以吸附废水和废气中的金属离子、有害气体、有机污染物、色素等。
工业上应用活性炭还要求机械强度大、耐磨性能好，它的结构力求稳定，吸附所需能量小，以有利于再生。
活性炭用于油脂、饮料、食品、饮用水的脱色、脱味，气体分离、溶剂回收和空气调节，用作催化剂载体和防毒面具的吸附剂。
物理特性：活性炭是一种多孔径的炭化物，有极丰富的孔隙构造，具有良好的吸附特性，它的吸附作用藉物理及化学的吸咐力而成的,其外观色泽呈黑色。
其成份除了主要的炭以外，还包含了少量的氢、氮、氧，其结构则外形似以一个六边形，由于不规则的六边形结构，确定了其多也体枳及高表面积的特点，每克的活性炭所具的有比表面相当于1000个平方米之多。

吸附特性活性炭是一种很细小的炭粒有很大的表面积，而且炭粒中还有更细小的孔——毛细管。
这种毛细管具有很强的吸附能力，由于炭粒的表面积很大，所以能与气体（杂质）充分接触。
当这些气体（杂质）碰到毛细管被吸附，起净化作用。
活性炭的表面积研究是非常重要的，活性炭的比表面积检测数据只有采用BET方法检测出来的结果才是真实可靠的，国内目前有很多仪器只能做直接对比法的检测，现在国内也被淘汰了。
目前国内外比表面积测试统一采用多点BET法，国内外制定出来的比表面积测定标准都是以BET测试方法为基础的，请参看我国国家标准（GB/T 19587-2004）-气体吸附BET原理测定固态物质比表面积的方法。
比表面积检测其实是比较耗费时间的工作，由于样品吸附能力的不同，有些样品的测试可能需要耗费一整天的时间，如果测试过程没有实现完全自动化，那测试人员就时刻都不能离开，并且要高度集中，观察仪表盘，操控旋钮，稍不留神就会导致测试过程的失败，这会浪费测试人员很多的宝贵时间。

颗粒状活性炭吸附和再生英文版
Granular Activated Carbon Absorption and RegenerationDESCRIPTIONGranular activated carbon (GAC) absorption has been used successfully for the advanced (tertiary) treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater. GAC is used to adsorb the relatively small quantities of soluble organics (See Table 1) and inorganic compounds such as nitrogen, sulfides, and heavy metals remaining in the wastewater following biological or physical-chemical treatment. Adsorption occurs when molecules adhere to the internal walls of pores in carbon particles produced by thermal activation.TABLE 1 ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AMENABLE TO ABSORPTION BY GACClassExampleAromatic solvents Benzene, toluene, xylene Polynuclear aromatics Naphthalene, biphenyl Chlorinated aromatics Chlorobenzene, PCBs, endrin, toxaphene, DDTPhenolicsPhenol, cresol, resorcinol, nitrophenols,chlorophenols, alkyl phenols GAC systems are generally composed of carbon contactors, virgin and spent carbon storage, carbon transport systems, and carbon regeneration systems (See Figure 1). The carbon contactor consists of a lined steel column or a steel or concrete rectangular tank in which the carbon is placed to form a “filter” bed. A fixed bed downflow column contactor (See Figure 2) is often used to contact wastewater with GAC. Wastewater is applied at the top of the column, flows downward through the carbon bed, and is withdrawn at the bottom of the column. The carbon is held in place with an underdrain system at the bottom of the contactor. Provisions for backwash and surface wash of the carbon bed are required to prevent buildup of excessive headloss due to accumulation of solids and to prevent the bed surface from clogging.Aromatic amines & high molecular weight aliphatic aminesAniline, toluene diamineSurfactantsAlkyl benzene sulfonatesSoluble organic dyes Methylene blue, textiles,dyesFuelsGasoline, kerosene, oil Chlorinated solventsCarbon tetrachloride, percholoroethylene Aliphatic & aromatic acids Tar acids, benzoic acidsPesticides/herbicides2,4-D, atrazine, simazine, aldicarb, alachlor, carbofuranSource: WEF MOP 8, 1998.FIGURE 1 GAC ADSORPTIONSCHEMATICExpanded bed and moving bed carbon contactors have been developed to overcome problems associated with headloss buildup experienced with fixed bed downflow contactors. In an expanded bed system, wastewater is introduced at the bottom of the contactor and flows upward, expanding the carbon bed, much as the bed expandsSource: U.S. EPA, 1984.during backwash of a fixed bed downflow contactor. In the moving bed system, spent carbon is replaced continuously so that the headloss does not build up. Carbon contactors may be operated under either pressure or gravity flow. The choice between pressure and gravity flow generally depends on the available pressure (head) within the wastewater treatment plant and cost.waiting truck. Regenerated or virgin carbon is then hydraulically transported from a second truck or from a separate compartment in the first truck to the contactor, then to a commercial reactivation facility. Generally, systems which contain at least one million pounds of carbon find on-site regeneration to be cost effective.Carbon regeneration is accomplished primarily by thermal means. Organic matter within the pores of the carbon is oxidized and thus removed from the carbon surface. The two most widely used regeneration methods are rotary kiln and multiple hearth furnaces. Approximately 5 to 10 percent of the carbon is destroyed in the regeneration process or lost during transport and must be replaced with virgin carbon. The capacity of the regenerated carbon is slightly less than that of virgin carbon. Repeated regeneration degrades the carbon particles until an equilibrium is eventually reached providing predictable long term system performance. See Figure 3 for a schematic of the carbon regeneration process.Source: Tchobanoglous and Burton, 1991.FIGURE 2 TYPICAL DOWNFLOWCARBON CONTACTORAll carbon contactors must be equipped with carbon removal and loading mechanisms to allow spent carbon to be removed and virgin or regenerated carbon to be added. Spent, regenerated, and virgin carbon is typically transported hydraulically by pumping as a slurry. Carbon slurries may be transported with water or compressed air, centrifugal or diaphragm pumps, or eductors.When the carbon contactor effluent quality reaches minimum water quality standards, the spent carbon is removed from the contactor for regeneration. Small systems usually find regeneration of their spent carbon at an off-site commercial reactivation facility to be the most convenient and economical method. In this case, the spent carbon is hydraulically transported from the contactor to aSource: WEF MOP 8, 1998FIGURE 3 REGENERATION SCHEMATICAPPLICABILITYTypically, GAC adsorption is utilized in wastewater treatment as a tertiary process following conventional secondary treatment or as one of several unit processes composing physical-chemicaltreatment. In wastewater treatment plants utilizing biological secondary treatment, GAC adsorption is generally located after filtration and prior to disinfection. When utilized in a physical-chemical treatment process, GAC adsorption is generally located following chemical clarification and filtration and prior to disinfection. In addition, GAC adsorption systems have a relatively small footprint making them suitable for facilities with limited land availability.The successful application of carbon adsorption for municipal wastewater treatment depends on the quality and quantity of the wastewater delivered to the adsorption system. For a carbon contactor to perform effectively, the feed water to the unit should be of uniform quality (suspended solids concentrations less than 20 mg/l) and without surges in flow. Wastewater constituents that may adversely affect carbon adsorption include suspended solids, BOD5, and organics such as methylene blue active substances or phenol and dissolved oxygen. Environmental factors that must be considered include pH and temperature because they may impact solubility, which affects the adsorption properties of the wastewater components onto carbon (WEF MOP 8, 1998).ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGESB e f o r e d e c i d i n g w h e t h e r c a r b o n adsorption/regeneration meets the needs of a municipality, it is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of both the adsorption and regeneration process.Advantages (Adsorption)C For wastewater flows which contain asignificant quantity of industrial flow, GACadsorption is a proven, reliable technologyto remove dissolved organics.C Space requirements are low.• GAC adsorption can be easily incorporated into an existing wastewater treatmentfacility. Advantages (Regeneration)C Systems are reliable from a processstandpoint.C Reduces solid waste handling problemscaused by the disposal of spent carbon.C Saves up to 50 percent of the carbon cost. Disadvantages (Adsorption)C Under certain conditions, granular carbonbeds may generate hydrogen sulfide frombacterial growth, creating odors andcorrosion problems.C Spent carbon, if not regenerated, maypresent a land disposal problem.C Wet GAC is highly corrosive and abrasive.C Requires pretreated wastewater with lowsuspended solids concentration. Variationsin pH, temperature, and flow rate may alsoadversely affect GAC adsorption. Disadvantages (Regeneration)C Air emissions from the furnace containvolatiles stripped from the carbon. Carbonmonoxide is formed as a result ofincomplete combustion. Therefore,afterburners and scrubbers are usuallyneeded to treat exhaust gases.C The induced draft fan of a multiple hearthfurnace may produce a noise problem.C The process is most effective when operatedon a 24-hour basis, requiring around-the-clock operator attention.C The process is subject to more mechanicalfailures than other wastewater treatmentprocesses.DESIGN CRITERIAPrior to the design of GAC systems, a pilot plant study should be performed to determine if the technology will meet discharge permit requirements and to quantify optimum flow rate, bed depth, and operating capacity on a particular wastewater. This information is required to determine the dimensions and number of carbon contactors required for continuous treatment.The sizing of carbon contactors is based on contact time, hydraulic loading rate, carbon bed depth, and number of contactors. The carbon contact time typically ranges from 15 to 35 minutes depending on the application, wastewater constituents and desired effluent quality. Hydraulic loading rates of 4 to 10 gpm/sq.ft are typically used for upflow carbon columns. For downflow carbon columns, hydraulic loading rates of 3 to 5 gpm/sq.ft are used. Carbon bed depth varies typically within a range of 10 to 40 feet depending on carbon contact time (Tchobanoglous, 1991).The number of contactors should be sufficient to ensure enough carbon contact time to maintain effluent quality while one column is off line during removal of spent carbon or maintenance. The normal practice is either to use two columns in series and rotate them as they become exhausted or to use multiple columns in parallel so that when one column becomes exhausted, the effluent quality will not be significantly affected (WEF MOP 8, 1998). Regeneration facilities are typically sized based on carbon dosage or use rate. The dosage rate depends on the strength of the wastewater applied to the carbon and the required effluent quality. Typical dosage rates for filtered, secondary effluent range from 400 to 600 lbs/mil.gall., while typical dosage rates for coagulated, settled and filtered raw wastewater (physical-chemical) range from 600 to 1800 lbs/mil.gall.PERFORMANCENiagara Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant Niagara Falls, New York The Niagara Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant (NFWTP) has been operating as a physical- chemical activated carbon secondary treatment facility since 1985. With a design average daily flow capacity of 48 mgd, it is the largest municipal physical-chemical activated carbon wastewater treatment plant in operation in the United States. The treatment process consists of chemically assisted primary sedimentation, granular activated carbon adsorption, oxidation, and disinfection. The influent pH can be adjusted to compensate for industrial discharge. The current average daily flow is 35 mgd. Industrial flow to the plant is approximately 17 percent of the total flow.The activated carbon system at NFWTP includes 28 carbon beds which are 17.3 feet wide by 42 feet long. Each carbon bed is approximately 8.5 feet in depth and contains 180,000 pounds of carbon. Primary effluent percolates downward by gravity through the GAC bed. Each carbon bed provides chemical adsorption of pollutants from the wastewater, physical filtration of solids, and biological degradation from the incidental anaerobic activity that occurs within.The carbon beds at NFWTP operate in parallel. During dry weather, there are typically 17 carbon beds in operation with a primary effluent application rate of approximately 2.2 gpm/sq.ft. During wet weather, additional beds are placed in operation. All beds are operated at an application rate of approximately 3gpm/sq.ft (Roll, 1996). Backwash of the carbon beds is based on headloss. Regeneration of the spent carbon is performed on- site in a multiple hearth furnace. Each filter bed is separately removed from service and emptied of carbon. The carbon is fed to the furnace at a rate of about 2,000 lbs/hr. The regenerated carbon is kept in storage until an empty bed becomes available. Normal operating losses, which average 5.5 percent, require the addition of virgin carbon to maintain inventory levels. At present, the four month regeneration process to regenerate all of the carbon is performed once per year.Three storage tanks are used during on-site regeneration. The spent carbon storage tank has a capacity of 2.5 carbon beds; the regenerated carbonstorage tank can hold 1.5 beds of carbon and the virgin carbon storage tank has a capacity of 1 carbon bed. Carbon is moved about the plant in a slurry through an eductor system.With GAC adsorption, the NFWTP has achieved very low effluent organic compound concentrations. On a daily basis, the facility receives approximately 800 pounds of influent priority pollutants which are reduced by the treatment process to 12 pounds in the effluent to the Niagara River. The effluent discharge permit issued to NFWTP by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation includes effluent limitations for volatile compounds, acid compounds, base/neutral compounds, pesticides, metals, and cyanide. Millard H. Robbins Reclamation Facility, Upper Occoquan Sewerage Authority, Centreville, VirginiaThe Millard H. Robbins Reclamation Facility (MHRRF) provides biological, tertiary treatment to an average daily wastewater flow of 24 mgd. Industrial flow to the plant is approximately 10 percent of the total flow. The treatment process consists of primary sedimentation, conventional activated sludge with nitrification, lime addition for phosphorous removal, clarification, two-stage recarbonization, flow equalization, multimedia filtration, GAC adsorption, post filtration and disinfection. The MHRRF discharges its effluent to Bull Run which flows into the Occoquan Reservoir. This reservoir serves as raw water storage for the potable water supply to portions of northern Virginia.The activated carbon system at MHRRF includes 32 upflow carbon columns which are 10 feet in diameter and 40 feet tall. Each column has a capacity of 1mgd and contains approximately 75,000 pounds of carbon. Flow is pumped through the columns by a pump station which also serves the multimedia filters and post filtration system. Post filtration is provided following the GAC columns to remove carbon fines from the effluent to maintain the Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) permit requirement for turbidity of 0.5 NTU. The carbon columns at MHRRF are operated in parallel. During average daily flow periods, approximately 24 columns are in operation with the remaining eight columns brought on line during daily peak flow periods. During wet weather, flows in excess of 32 mgd are stored in a 90 million gallon pond.Regeneration of the spent carbon is performed on- site in a multiple hearth furnace. The regeneration process takes approximately 8 to 10 weeks to regenerate approximately one-third of the carbon in all 32 columns and is performed twice each year. Consequently, it takes approximately 18 months (three regeneration cycles) to regenerate the total quantity of carbon in the columns. Spent carbon is removed from the bottom of each column and transported to the regeneration furnace through an eductor system. The regenerated carbon is then added at the top of each column. The cost for on- site regeneration at MHRRF is approximately $0.35 per pound. Normal operating losses, which average 5 to 7 percent of the total quantity of GAC in use, require the addition of virgin carbon to maintain inventory levels. Most of the carbon attrition occurs during regeneration with approximately 10 to 12 percent of the total carbon regenerated lost during the regeneration process. Carbon is moved about the plant in a slurry through an eductor system.GAC adsorption is utilized at MHRRF to remove non-biodegradable, soluble organics. COD is used as the surrogate indicator of non-biodegradable organics removal by the GAC columns. Currently, the Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) discharge permit limit for COD is 10 mg/l. Following GAC regeneration, effluent COD concentrations range from 6 to 7 mg/l, which corresponds to approximately 50 percent removal of COD. As the GAC in the columns becomes exhausted, the percentage removal of COD declines to approximately 25 percent. When the effluent COD concentration has increased to 9 mg/l, GAC regeneration is initiated.OPERATION AND MAINTENANCEThe proper operation and maintenance of GAC adsorption and regeneration systems ensures theefficient removal of soluble organics from secondary effluent. A routine O&M schedule following manufacturer’s recommendations should be developed and implemented for any GAC adsorption and regeneration system. Regular O&M includes the following:C Backwash of carbon contactor based onheadloss or flow.C Flush carbon transport piping to preventclogging.C Backwash frequently after loading carbon tominimize clogging of backwash nozzles bycarbon fines.C Store an adequate supply of spent carbon toallow continuous operation of theregeneration furnace.C Test and calibrate instrumentation andcontrols on a routine basis.COSTSThe construction and operation and maintenance costs of carbon adsorption and regeneration depend on the characteristics of the wastewater to be treated, the capacity of the plant, and the plant site. Therefore, the designer is responsible for selecting a system that will meet the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System NPDES permit requirements at the lowest cost possible. Once the optimum flow rate, bed depth, and operating capacity of GAC for a particular wastewater are determined, comparative costs for different carbon contactor configurations and the cost of on-site regeneration versus off-site regeneration can be estimated. Following a thorough engineering and economic analysis of alternatives, the final equipment configuration can be selected. Construction costs include the carbon contactors, carbon transport system, carbon storage tanks, carbon regeneration system (if applicable), influent wastewater pumps (if applicable) and contactor backwash system. Operation and maintenance costs include the purchase of virgin carbon, on-site regeneration or purchase of regenerated carbon, electrical power to operate pumps and controls, flushing of carbon slurry piping, and replacement of parts. Currently, the cost of virgin carbon ranges from $0.70 to $1.20 per pound and the cost to purchase regenerated carbon ranges from $0.50 to $0.78 per pound.Operational costs depend on the characteristics of the influent wastewater and the adsorption capacity of the GAC. For example, influent wastewater which contains suspended solids concentrations greater than 20 mg/l will require more frequent backwashing of the contactor to prevent clogging of the carbon bed.REFERENCESOther Related Fact SheetsOther EPA Fact Sheets can be found at the following web address:/owmitnet/mtbfact.htm1. “Activate d Carbon Absorption &Adsorption.” [/sce%26g/business_solutions/technology/ewtwaca.htm].2.

It should be pointed out that for molecules of contaminants to be adsorbed, they must be smaller than the size of carbon pore opening so that they can pass into the carbon pores and accumulate. Now that you can imagine why we are always using different raw materials and conditions of activation to produce varieties of activated carbon with different pores structure, aiming to make our products suitable for different applications.

How activated carbon works?
The atoms of carbon comprising the large internal surface area of activated carbon present attractive forces outward from the surface. These forces, known as Van der Waals forces, attract the molecules of the surrounding gas or liquid. The combination of these attractive forces and those of molecules in the surrounding medium result in adsorption of molecules at the surface of the activated carbon. Some molecules have structures which make them more easily adsorbed than others and it is due to this that separation of molecules is achieved.
