The role of anthracite in water treatment

ANTHRACITE

It is a high-hardness mineral coal of great carbon content. It is formed, like all mineral coals, by a slow process (millions of years) of plant transformation by effect of pressure and temperature. It is the last one on the scale of the Cobonus, and the one that more temperature and pressure needs to form. It is black and shiny, the most dense and hard of the carbons, with a high carbon content (more than 95%).

Anthracite is an excellent filter media for water clarification in drinking or industrial use, when used in combination with filtering sands. It is one of the most used filtering media. It is a good complement for the mixed filters, in company of sand or green manganese sand. Due to the special shape of its grains, it allows the suspended particles to be retained in the depth of the filtering bed. Compared to a sand filter, this filtering medium allows a higher flow, less pressure drop and a better and faster backwash.

Anthracite filter materials are specifically selected from deep mines with the highest percentage of carbon.

FILTRATION THROUGH MULTILAYER BEDS

Filtration through multilayer beds is a technique widely used in the elimination of suspended particles the raw water, having its main applications in the wastewater purification stations, desalination and drinking water treatment.

Anthracite filter media is a kind of water media used in water treatment. Anthracite coal has the large surface area, and its various indexes all exceed the construction department's standard. Anthracite filter media is especially selected from the deep well minerals, so it contains the highest percentage of carbon. The raw material is always filtered and washed to make sure that the product can have a good effect on water filtration.
