17. UCI’s Oil Refining Grade Carbon’s is
softer, lighter and has low ash. Due to
its high porosity it is used as a catalyst
carrier (e.g. Merox) in Petroleum
Refineries.
APPLICATIONS: OIL REFINING
18. The activated carbon is used to reduce
impurities such as color contents or small
volume of by-products in the solutions in
pharmaceutical, oleo chemicals and other
chemical industries.
Activated carbon is used to
treat poisonings and overdoes following
oral ingestion.
APPLICATIONS: DRUG INDUSTRY
19. There are 2 predominant types of carbon filters used in the filtration
industry: powdered block filters and granular activated filters.
APPLICATIONS: WATER TREATMENT
