3. Activation
4. Washing and Purification
- Remove residual chemicals and ash through acid/water washing (for chemically activated carbon).
- Adjust pH to neutral and reduce impurity content.
5. Drying
· Dry the activated carbon to reduce moisture content to below 5% using rotary dryers or ovens.
6. Screening and Grading
- Sieve the product into standardized particle sizes (e.g., granular, powdered, or pelleted forms).
- Classify based on adsorption performance indicators (e.g., iodine value, hardness).
7. Packaging
- Package in sealed, moisture-proof bags to preserve adsorption activity.
- Label specifications (type, iodine value, moisture, ash content) for commercial distribution.
