Filtration
The Importance of Removing VOCs at the Source
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a significant concern in both industrial and domestic environments due to their potential health risks and environmental impact. These compounds, which can be emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids, include a variety of chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde, and toluene. VOCs are commonly found in products such as paints, varnishes, cleaning supplies, pesticides, building materials, and office equipment (e.g., copiers and printers).
The Role of Activated Carbon Filtration
Activated carbon filtration is one of the most effective methods for removing VOCs from the air. Activated carbon is a highly porous material with a large surface area, allowing it to efficiently adsorb VOC molecules. This process works by physically binding VOC molecules to the surface of the activated carbon particles, effectively removing them from the air.
