Treatment of Liquids
Adsorption technology is widely employed in the treatment of all kinds of liquids in the chemical, pharmaceutical or food industry, like glucose, oils and fats, seasonings and glutamate, wine, beer and juices.
Apart from decolorisation, activated carbon is used for removing dissolved organic compounds and for controlling odour and taste.
These applications predominantly use powdered activated carbons applied by the stirring or suspension technique and granular activated carbons by the percolation process.
