In addition, the water washing is primarily performed to remove ash content from the granular activated carbon (GAC). Ash content is the inherent property of Carbon, however, the increased amount of ash content in Activated Carbon will reduce the performance and efficiency of Activated Carbon in adsorbing organic pollutants and specific compounds. It is therefore preferred to wash away the water soluble ash with water, as a typical step in the processing of high quality Activated Carbon.

Characteristics of washed activated carbon mainly include high adsorption capacity, fast adsorption speed, good mechanical strength, and long service life.

High adsorption capacity: The adsorption capacity of washed activated carbon is large, which is mainly related to its specific surface area. A large specific surface area means that the activated carbon has more micropores and can adsorb more pollutants.

Fast adsorption speed: The adsorption speed of washed activated carbon is fast, which can effectively purify water in a short time.

Good mechanical strength: This activated carbon has good mechanical strength and can remain stable during long-term use, and is not easy to break or deform.

Long service life: Due to its high mechanical strength, the service life of washed activated carbon is relatively long, which can reduce the frequency of replacement and reduce maintenance costs.
