Carbon molecular sieves can be used for water treatment. Carbon molecular sieves have high surface area and fine pore size, and can effectively adsorb and remove pollutants such as heavy metal ions, organic matter, and heavy metal ions in water, while retaining beneficial minerals and nutrients in water. Specific applications include:
Removal of heavy metal ions: Carbon molecular sieves can remove heavy metal ions such as mercury, lead, and cadmium in water through ion exchange to ensure water quality safety.
Treatment of radioactive wastewater: Carbon molecular sieves can selectively adsorb radioactive cations in nuclear wastewater, providing an efficient solution for the treatment of radioactive wastewater.
Removal of emerging pollutants: Carbon molecular sieves can be used to remove emerging pollutants such as microplastics and drug residues in water, and targeted removal of specific pollutants can be achieved through customized molecular sieve materials.
Seawater desalination pretreatment: In the process of seawater desalination, carbon molecular sieves can be used for pretreatment to remove some salt and impurities in seawater, reduce the burden of subsequent desalination processes, and improve desalination efficiency and equipment life.
In addition, the application of carbon molecular sieves in the field of water treatment also includes removing pollutants such as organic matter and heavy metal ions in water to improve water quality.
