There are many
chemical compounds currently in use across the globe. Different compounds have
different qualities and the term volatility is often associated with the carbon
based compounds called organic compounds, and a lot of organic compounds are
volatile. These compounds include hydro
compounds, halo compounds, acids, alcohols, and esters. Mainly smaller
compounds are volatile. However, nature also contains several inorganic
molecules that are volatile.
Emission of
VOC in furniture and paint coating
In the furniture
industry, many organic compounds are utilised as solvents for polishing,
painting, in glues, etc. Besides that,
solvent application is also utilised in paint and coating works and automotive
paint booths in various workshops. But these solvents should be volatile.
Otherwise, it will take a long time to dry.
While
manufacturing those products, sometimes some of the harmful volatile materials
are also used to decrease production costs. This can cause suffocation along
with several health and environmental hazards. In this category, various
nitrogen-containing compounds are also utilised. To eradicate the VOCs from
industrial workshops.
How can you eliminate those low volatile VOCs?
The curation of
filtration units or the adsorption media depends on the below parameters:
●
Stability
of the filter.
●
Removal efficiency
●
Disposability
of the filter material that is used.
●
Filter
cost.
For VOC removing applications, we can also use
activated carbon-based filters. It is because it shows features such as:
●
High removal efficiency
●
Least operator assistance
●
Environmental
friendliness.
●
Economically
viable and stable.
It is also
required to check how accurate the pore size of the filter is, as the adsorbed
material might escape from the filters when pores are bigger than the solvent
size. Coconut-activated carbon filters are the best choice over coal and
wood-based carbon filters when it comes to air purification. . Withactivated
carbon filters, disposal is not expensive and easy to handle. It can also be
used as a fuel in several industries or utilised in metallurgy for metal
extraction.
Why is activated carbon ideal for Air and Odour
purification?
To enhance the
adsorption effectiveness, activated carbons are infused with specific
chemicals. It is most likely that some solvents possessing acidic or basic
characters might escape the filter. For adsorbing such vapours, activated
carbon is soaked with some of the transition metallic salts that help adsorb
both acidic and basic vapours.
Moreover, it is
also possible to infuse oxidising chemicals in the activated carbon, ensuring
consistent oxidation of these volatile vapours. Aqoza has created several VOC
removing activated carbons for several industries, which are highly effective
in eliminating VOCs in addition to disposable friendly solutions.
Aqoza offers a
wide range of adsorption media for controlling odour, controlling corrosion,
and VOC recovery system.
