Absorption is when one substance joins with another substance. The substances change as they interact with one another. Adsorbing is when one substance sticks to the surface of another but they each remain the same. Each substance keeps its original character. Adsorption is the action that happens when using a desiccant. Desiccants remove moisture and slow down the processes …

Activated carbon (charcoal) has proven to be a very efficient tool for removing undesirable odors in confined areas. The surface area of activated carbon allows the media to effectively absorb organic compounds. First, carbon is heated to very high temperatures through steam activation. This process then increases the surface area to absorb odors. The unwanted odor enters through pores and …

Oxygen can promote the growth of bacteria and fungi that can cause food to spoil. Consuming food with bacteria can be harmful. Oxygen Absorbers can prevent the growth of pathogens and extend the shelf life of food. Oxygen Absorbers are non-toxic and inexpensive compared to the cost associated with throwing out contaminated food. When looking for solutions to remove oxygen …

Molecular sieve desiccants are used for the drying of liquids and gas. Molecular sieves, sometimes referred to as mole sieves, have a crystalline structure of metal aluminosilicates. This creates uniform cavities for adsorption of water and the size of the adsorbed molecular is dependent on the on the size of the molecular sieve used. Molecular Sieves are available in a …

Activated Carbon is a very commonly used air and water filtration media. Activated Carbon is created through a process that takes a raw material such as coconut and heats it under extremely high temperatures until the raw material is burned down to carbon. Through this process, a large number of pores are created. These pores of the natural material allow …

Pollutants in the air can be outputs of industrial manufacturing processes or can form naturally. Contaminants released into the air and created as a result of industrial processes are regulated by the Clean Air Act. Companies are responsible for having the necessary filtration systems to control pollution emitted into the air. When Activated Carbon is incorporated into filtration systems at …
