Activated carbon is characterized by porous and complex pore size

Activated carbon has different usage and it is widely used in different fields like air purification, sewage treatment, metal extraction and medical treatment. Activated carbon contains a large amount of aldehyde functional group (C=O) and carboxyl group (COOH) which lead to certain degree of hydrophilicity and function of adsorbing organic compounds that are caused by the presence of hydrogen bond. One gram of activated carbon With a surface area of more than one thousand square meters, hence, it possessed the ability to remove organic substances.

Activated carbon cabin air filters can effectively remove harmful gaseous pollutants and organic compounds. Especially it can adsorb the unpleasant odor from a new car. An effective cabin air filter is one of the important factors in purchasing a new car. Imported cars from major European brands usually come with an activated carbon cabin air filter. Therefore, it can be proven that an effective cabin air filter is crucial to customers.

Activated carbon has special properties that allow it to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and other gaseous pollutants from the air. It is more effective in removing air pollutants and organic compounds when compared to a regular cabin air filter.

These types of cabin air filters are more efficient and eliminate harmful gaseous pollutants such as carbon monoxide. In addition, it can filter bacteria and microorganisms.

Due to the adsorption process of activated carbon, it may adorb certain amount of vapour molecules and cause unpleasant smell. Therefore, when the activated carbon cabin air filter releases odor, it would be a sign that reminds you to change the cabin air filter. After all, the vehicle’s air filter is a consumable item and needs to be replaced regularly.
