How to use activated carbon at home

Activated charcoal is a great way to remove odors and moisture. Many families choose to use activated carbon in their closets or cars to remove odors and absorb moisture. However, it should be noted that if activated carbon is not used correctly, it will cause certain harm to the human body. So how should activated carbon be used? Many friends will have such a question. Here I will introduce to you how to use it.

1. The key locations are pollution sources and places where people frequently move around. Place the activated carbon adsorption bag directly in the cabinets of wardrobes, shoe cabinets, bookcases, kitchen cabinets, etc. in the room; next to computers, desks, coffee tables, sofas and other places where people often move around, as well as any other place where the air needs to be purified. Activated carbon is a passive purification material. It must rely on air as a medium to adsorb harmful substances in the air. However, the air flow in the room is poor, and it is difficult for activated carbon to capture harmful substances in the air at a long distance in a short period of time. Therefore, it is best used in a small range and small space.

2. The height of the placement space should be within 180 cm. Indoor harmful gases, such as formaldehyde, have a higher specific gravity than air. Therefore, the pollutants are most serious in the middle and lower parts of the indoor space. This height is equivalent to the height of the human body, so it is the best placement height.

3. After using it for about 20 days and exposing it to the sun for 3-5 hours, it can be used repeatedly, so it can be used for 6-10 months. This step is necessary because the pores in activated carbon are limited and will become saturated after a period of use, especially when a large number of water molecules occupy a larger space in the activated carbon. Therefore, it is necessary to expose the activated carbon to the sun regularly to evaporate the water molecules in the activated carbon.

4. Notes on using a new house if you are not going to move in immediately: First open the windows to ventilate as much as possible. You can use an electric fan to speed up the alternation of fresh air and indoor air to discharge harmful gases to the outside. At the same time, scatter the activated carbon adsorption bags anywhere in the room. After a period of time, the indoor odor will be reduced, and the activated carbon will be collected and placed in a centralized location to control the pollution source and continue to absorb the continuously released harmful substances. When activated carbon is placed in the cabinet, the cabinet door should be closed and the window should be opened.

The above is the use of activated carbon. You should have a certain understanding of it through the above article. When using activated carbon, it is best to keep the space in a closed state so that the activated carbon can better play its role, better absorb the humid gas in the space and play its due role.
