FILTER MEDIUM AND WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

A filter medium comprises: a) 55 to 80 percent by weight of activated carbon particles having a D50 of 70 to 130 micrometers and a D10 of 25 to 50 micrometers; b) 5 to 20 percent by weight of first catalytic activated carbon particles having a D50 in a range of 20 to 40 micrometers and a D10 of 2 to 20 micrometers; and c) 10 to 30 percent by weight of a thermoplastic binder that binds at least the activated carbon particles and the catalytic activated carbon particles into a porous unitary body, wherein the percent by weight of components a)-c) is based upon a total weight of components a)-c). A water filtration system including the filter medium is also disclosed.
