Unbelievable popularity of Wood Activated Carbon in industrial market

Chemical_Materials
Wood activated carbon refers to wood which has been activated by chemicals or steam in order to form a porous microstructure capable of adsorbing water contaminants. Wood based carbon is therefore a natural means of treating water in order to make it potable. Residential and industrial wastewater is treated with wood activated carbon as a primary method of water purification. The resulting stream of water is treated further with other chemicals and then released into the natural water bodies. Wood activated carbon possesses a large surface area, fine micropores, high adherence strength and fast filtering speed. Some of the common chemicals used to activate wood are phosphorous acid and zinc chloride. Wood activated carbon is used to control odor and taste in wastewater streams and to remove organic chemicals from industrial waste water.
The rising awareness towards the treatment of residential and industrial waste water before releasing it into natural water bodies has been propelling the wood activated carbon market. Inert gases such as krypton and xenon can be adsorbed on the surface of wood activated carbon. Treatment of wastewater as per government regulations across the globe, necessitate the use of water treatment methods before releasing waste water into the environment. Owing to this, the wood activated carbon market is expected to grow within the forecast period. Soft and hard woods including maple, birch, hickory, coconut and palm are used as wood activated carbon. However, application of condensed steam to increase the porosity of wood is a capital intensive step and is a slow and delayed method of activating wood; this disadvantage is expected to hamper the growth of the market. Faster and less expensive chemical activation methods are projected to open new opportunities for the wood activated carbon market, in the coming years.

Countries such as the U.S, Australia and U.K are major consumers of wood activated carbon for water purification purposes. China and India dominate the wood processing market. Large quantities of wood are processed by Chinese wood processors and exported to the U.S. and other countries for use in water purification applications. Coconut shells, walnut shells, peach pits, babassu nutshells, palm kernels and others are used for water purification purposes.
Wood activated carbon has large pores which are called as mesopores or macropores. Due to the large pore size, they are used for adsorption of large molecular species. It therefore finds application in decolorization process. Wood activated by steam has larger pores and pits, this increases the surface area available for adsorption. Treatment with wood activated carbon helps in BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) reduction which helps in the survival of aquatic flora and fauna, thereby maintaining natural water body sources. Wood activated carbon is used in vapour phase injection systems for waste water treatment.
