Activated
Carbon Filters: Introduction
·
Activated carbon filters are usually employed in the process of
removing organic compounds and/or extracting free chlorine from water, thereby
making the water suitable for discharge or use in manufacturing processes.
Elimination of organics in potable water, such as humic and fulvic acids,
prevents chlorine in the water from chemically reacting with acids and forming
trihalomethanes, a class of known carcinogens.
·
Various types of high-tech activated carbon filters are
available for industrial filtration systems. Activated carbon exhibits varying
performance characteristics depending upon the strata from which it is derived
(e.g., bituminous or anthracite coal, bone char, coconut shell) and the way it
is manufactured. Methods used to create various activated carbon materials are
highly proprietary and lead to distinct differences across the range of media
available to the industry.
·
Coconut shells and coal (anthracite or bituminous) are organic
sources of activated carbon. Carbon forms when an organic source is burned in
an environment without oxygen. This process leaves about 30% of the organic
mass intact, driving off heavy organic molecules. Prior to being used for water
treatment, the organic mass must then be “activated.” The process of activation
opens up the carbon’s massive number of pores and further drives off unwanted
molecules. The open pores allow the carbon to capture contaminants.
·
Activated Carbon (AC) filtration, as with any water treatment
method, is not capable of removing every possible type of contaminant. For
instance, sodium, microbes, fluoride, and nitrates cannot be removed with AC
filtration. Water softening also cannot be achieved with AC filters.
Additionally, heavy metals, such as lead, can only be removed with a specific
kind of activated carbon water treatment, which is typically used in
residential point-of-use filters.

Key
Drivers and Restraints of Global Activated Carbon Filters Market
·
Water treatment technology is gaining prominence all over the
world. Companies are striving to adopt environment-friendly and efficient water
disposal techniques. This has boosted the demand for activated carbon. In 2018,
consumption of activated carbon in water treatment application reached more than
40% of the total volume manufactured in the world. High economic growth and
increase in population are expected to drive the industrial sector, thereby
propelling the demand for activated carbon filters in industrial water
pollution treatment and water purification applications.
·
In the food and beverages sector, activated carbon filters are
employed in processes such as removal of contaminants or impurities such as
color and odor from sweeteners, food liquids, syrups, beverages, glycerin, and
amino and organic acids. Growth in demand for processed foods and beverages is
a major factor estimated to drive the market in the near future.

Covid-19 Impact on Activated Carbon Filters Market
·
Several governments and private sector businesses are operating
on a limited capacity or have ceased operations completely due to recent events
surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Manufacturing activities across the globe
came to a halt due to the unavailability of raw materials and shortage of labor
due to the pandemic. This is expected to hamper the activated carbon filters
market to some extent.
·
COVID-19 is affecting the global economy through three major
ways: decrease in production and demand, disruption of supply chain and market,
and adverse financial impact on firms and financial markets
Asia Pacific to dominate Global Activated Carbon Filters Market
·
In terms of region, the global activated carbon filters market
can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and
Middle East & Africa
·
Asia Pacific is estimated to be the major region of the global
activated carbon filters market during the forecast period. This growth can be
ascribed to rise in industrialization and urbanization; and increase in trading
activities in the region.
