| Activated carbon is an efficient filtration tool made from carbonaceous material that has undergone heating at extremely high temperatures to create hundreds of tiny pores, thus increasing the surface area.
The process of increasing the surface area and pore size of carbon is known as activation, activated carbon manufacturer and this multitude of tiny pores and huge surface area enables the filter media to adsorb contaminants and pollutants present in air and water.
The more surface area present, the more your activated carbon can interact with water, and the more dissolved chemicals it can eliminate successfully.
Aquarium activated carbon is highly effective and specially manufactured to remove pollutants and contaminants e.g. chlorine, chloramine, tannins (from driftwood), and phenols through adsorption.
Adsorption is the adhesion of molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface, it can be on the outer or inner surface of the material.
Through the pores, the activated carbon media is able to trap harmful substances such as contaminants from tap water (chlorine and chloramine), tannins from driftwood which alters the normal color of water, and phenols from the metabolic waste of fish, snails, shrimp, crabs, frogs, etc. decomposing plant matter and uneaten food which causes odors.https://www.dxdcarbon.com/
