Description

RUWF – PL1500
POWDERED ACTIVATED CARBON

CAS Registry No.: 7440-44-0


DESCRIPTION
RUWF-PL1500 is a chemically activated wood based powdered
activated carbon with unusually high adsorptive capacity for a
broad range of organics. Its high surface area and large volume
of meso pores allow it to rapidly remove color, taste, and odor
compounds from solution. Thus, RUWF-PL1500 is designed for
those applications requiring a minimum amount of carbon
to remove a maximum amount of impurities. Specific cost
effective uses are in purification of food products such as corn
syrups, citric acid, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, monosodium
glutamate, juices, wine, and in pharmaceutical and fine chemical
purification. In addition PL1500’s high purity and excellent
filterability make it especially suited for these uses.
RUWF-PL1500 meets the food-grade quality of activated
carbons as defined in the current edition of the Food Chemicals
Codex. It is Certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 and is Kosher.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
Batch treatment with RUWF-PL1500 powdered carbons is a cost
effective way to achieve purity and color targets using minimal
capital equipment where dosage levels may vary. The capital
expense of fixed bed granular carbon vessels and piping
systems can be avoided with batch mixing and filter press/leaf
filters to remove the powdered carbon from solution.
