Materials such as coal, wood, coconut are transformed into carbon, which is then activated, either chemically or thermally. This activation creates pores in the carbon surface resulting in a product with a very large amount of active surface area. Carbon pores are classified into 3 categories: 1/ Macropores Size is more than 5000 Å (0,5 µm), typical of wood 2/ Mesopores Size is more than 40 Å (> 0,004 µm) but less than 5000 Å, typical of coal 3/ Micropores Size is less than 40 Å (< 0,004 µm), typical of coconut The type and size of the contaminant to be removed determines which carbon material type needs to be used. Note: chlorine, typically sodium hypo- chlorite HOCl- , is not removed by ad- sorption but through a catalytic process. Thanks to activated carbon, sodium hy- poclorite will be transformed into a state that does no longer have any bad taste and smell properties. UNDERSTANDING THE PRINCIPLE OF ADSORPTION
