Activated Carbon CTC 55 – 6×12 Mesh: High-Performance Adsorbent for Industrial and Environmental Applications
Introduction
Activated Carbon CTC 55 6×12 Mesh is a high-quality granular activated carbon (GAC) designed specifically for gas-phase adsorption. With a Carbon Tetrachloride (CTC) activity of 55%, this type of activated carbon offers exceptional adsorption capacity, particularly for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and chemical contaminants. Its mesh size of 6×12 provides a balanced combination of surface area, pore structure, and flow dynamics, making it ideal for applications in air purification, solvent recovery, industrial gas treatment, and vapor phase filtration.
Description
What Does CTC 55 Mean?
The CTC value refers to the ability of activated carbon to adsorb carbon tetrachloride vapor under specific test conditions. A CTC value of 55% indicates a high adsorption capacity, making this grade of carbon effective in capturing a wide range of organic vapors and gases.
