As concern grows over the protection of the environment with governments and authorities throughout the world imposing stricter controls on emissions from factories and processes, so the use of activated carbon continues to play a major role in controlling these emissions.

Throughout industry, where chemicals are used in manufacturing processes, the resultant emissions from these processes, with entrained chemical vapor, can cause serious environmental and social problems.

Apart from the need to clean up these emissions, there is often financial advantage to be gained such as in solvent recovery plants. Here, expensive solvents can be recovered whist, at the same time, process emissions are stripped of unwanted chemical vapors.

Product Description IKASORB V

Ikasorb V48 and Ikasorb V612 are two high activity Activated Carbons that have been specially developed for vapour phase applications including solvent recovery, air/gas purification, de-odorisation, and respirators.

Because they are manufactured from only high quality coconut shell charcoal, these carbons, whist prossessing an exceptionally highly developed internal pore structure to maximise their effectiveness, also show a very high degree of durability and resistance to abrasion and the associated breakdown.
