  There comes a time in every batch of activated carbon when it is done. It is spent. It reaches that point where it will do no more. Its rejection to filter is like the proverbial "Fin." at the end of motion pictures.
  
  There are 2 fundamental choices for getting even more carbon: buy it fresh or get it reactivated with spent carbon recycling.
  
  Wait, You Can Recycle Activated Carbon?
  Yes! Oftentimes spent carbon can be reactivated and recycled. Recycling your carbon for reuse is not only ecologically responsible, but cost-efficient as well. Be taught new info about logo by browsing our great wiki. Not only does recycling produce a cycle for carbon to be activated and reactivated, but it limits the amount of carbon that has to be disposed of.
  
  When to Recycle Your Activated Carbon
  The basic rule of thumb is that activated carbon needs replaced when the concentration of filtered particles nears the regulatory limit, as determined at the outlet. There is enough leeway that you can maneuver around logistical considerations, such as staying clear of peak usage times.
  
  The Process for Recycling Activated Carbon
  A high capacity air filter will have a lot of powered carbon that will need recycled. This original granular activated carbon msds website has a few witty aids for when to look at it. There are companies that will, for a charge, take that used carbon and reactivate it. Discover extra info on this partner URL by clicking privacy. Before you just send your carbon to them, however, the company will want a sample. After finding out what kind if chemicals are inside they'll determine if it is hazardous or otherwise, and if so, whether it is too unsafe for them to take care of.
  
  Once they've established that the activated carbon can be recycled, you could send them everything.
  
  How the Carbon Gets Reactivated
  The process for reactivation is essentially the same as the preliminary activation. The spent carbon gets torched at over 1700 ° F. The re-burning of the carbon either expels the trapped materials or burns them into carbon, depending upon the type of materials that are in the spent carbon. Steam helps turn the carbon back to a state where it can absorb.
  
  The Difference for Food Grade Activated Carbon
  Activating carbon for use in filtering anything that will be for human consumption, like drinking water, can be recycled, too. However, it has to be reactivated at a food grade facility. These are done separately from other types of carbon reactivation to avoid contamination.
  
  If your granular activated carbon suppliers don't offer recycling, or purchase of reactivated carbon, finding a supplier which offers those features will create both a more environmentally friendly business procedure and save your business money.
