Activated Carbon Filter is a very common air filter used in various air purifiers for air purification. It is not only effective in removing gases and odors from the air but also is very helpful in removing allergens like dust and mites from the room. It is made of a porous material packed with granular carbon.

How Activated Carbon air purifiers work?

The common activated carbon filters work by simply absorbing the impurities in the air. They just adsorb the pollutants. Once the pollutants are adsorbed, they must be replaced with new ones.

The working of Activated Carbon air purifiers?

The working of Activated Carbon air purifiers is very simple. The air passes through the Activated Carbon media which traps the pollutants and thus purifies the air.
