AN INORGANIC BINDER ACTIVATED CARBON BLOCK AND THE METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to an activated carbon block. More particularly, the present invention relates to an inorganic binder activated carbon block and a method for manufacturing the same. The inorganic binder activated carbon block according to the present invention comprises 70-90 wt% of activated carbon and 10-30 wt% of an inorganic binder. The inorganic binder comprises any one of kaolin, clay and loess or a combination thereof. The inorganic binder activated carbon block filters out various impurities, such as chlorine and rust in tap water, enhances water purification performance, has increased service life and increases an exchange cycle. The method according to the present invention comprises: wet agitating activated carbon and an inorganic binder, followed by compression, aging and drying; forming cylindrical activated carbon blocks by using a pug mill; carrying out drying and cutting; and carrying out firing under vacuum at a temperature of 700-1000°C to obtain finished products. The method includes a reasonable manufacturing process and allows easy production and commercialization.
