Standard Test Method for Particle Size Distribution of Granular Activated Carbon

Importancia y uso:

4.1 It is necessary to know the distribution of particle sizes of granular activated carbon in order to provide proper contact of gases or liquid in a packed bed of the material. Changes in particle size distribution can affect the pressure drop across the bed and the rate of adsorption in a bed of a given size.

4.2 Mean particle diameter is a property of activated carbons that influences pressure drop.

4.3 Effective size and uniformity coefficient are two properties of activated carbons often of interest in municipal water treatment applications where control of particle size is of interest.
