Bone Activated Charcoal 25 Kg 22060 (Heavy Metals / Colour)

Bone activated carbon is a specialized form of activated carbon made from animal bones, commonly used in water treatment. Here’s an overview of its production and applications:

How It’s Made:

1. Collection and Cleaning: Animal bones are gathered and meticulously cleaned to remove any residual organic material and impurities.
2. Carbonization: The cleaned bones undergo a process called pyrolysis, where they are heated in an oxygen-deprived environment. This transforms the organic components into carbon while preserving the bones’ porous structure.
3. Activation: The carbonized bones are then activated by exposing them to oxidizing gases at high temperatures. This step significantly increases the surface area and porosity of the carbon, enhancing its ability to adsorb contaminants.
4. Crushing and Sieving: The activated carbon is crushed and sieved to achieve the desired granule size, making it ready for various applications.

Uses in Water Treatment:

• Fluoride: Bone char is particularly effective at reducing fluoride levels in drinking water. The tricalcium phosphate in the bone char reacts with fluoride ions, helping to lower their concentration.
• Heavy Metals: It can adsorb heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, making it useful for treating both drinking water and industrial wastewater.
• Organic Compounds: Bone char can remove various organic compounds, including pesticides, herbicides, and other organic pollutants, improving the overall quality of the water.
• Chlorine and Chloramines: It can also help in reducing chlorine and chloramines, which are commonly used disinfectants in municipal water supplies.
• Taste and Odor: By removing impurities and contaminants, bone char can improve the taste and odor of drinking water.
  

Bone activated carbon is a sustainable and efficient solution for water purification, utilizing waste materials to create a valuable product for environmental and public health.
