    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.
