Coconut shell activated carbon is a commonly used type of activated carbon. How long can coconut shell activated carbon be used under normal circumstances? Let’s take a look together!
The validity period of activated carbon refers to the lifespan of activated carbon, and the lifespan of activated carbon has two meanings.
1. Storage mission. It refers to the storage life of activated carbon, and how long it can be stored in the storage room without being opened.
2. Service life. It refers to the service life of activated carbon, and how long it can be used in actual use under continuous filtration.
The storage life of activated carbon is generally 3-5 years, which mainly depends on the storage environment, temperature, humidity, and product quality of activated carbon. If the packaging and sealing of activated carbon are well done, it can be stored for 3-5 years. Generally speaking, in theory, the storage life of activated carbon is unlimited. However, in practice, due to objective reasons, an ideal storage environment does not exist. Therefore, the storage life of activated carbon should be set at 6 years. However, it should also be determined based on the actual situation of the warehouse and the degree of sealing of the activated carbon packaging.
The service life of activated carbon is not expressed in terms of usage time, but in terms of the mass of adsorbed material. It depends on how you use it and how much it filters. Suck up all the dirt, saturate it, and it will reach its service life. It looks new but useless. If there is a lot of filtering, it can be saturated. Even in very clean conditions, it should not exceed one year.
Overall, the service life of coconut shell activated carbon is longer than that of other activated carbons, but it is still necessary to determine whether coconut shell activated carbon needs to be replaced or reaches its service life based on its specific use and on-site conditions.
