Is charcoal filtered water safe to drink?

The water from the activated carbon filter is drinkable, but it is not recommended to drink it directly. It can be boiled before drinking, such as If you want to drink it directly after filtration, you also need to add other water treatment processes. If you only want to drink it after filtration Passing through an activated carbon filter does not meet the standard for direct drinking

Activated carbon belongs to microcrystalline carbon, which mainly relies on physical adsorption during water treatment. Due to its characteristics

It has a huge adsorption surface area, so its adsorption force is very strong. Generally, a good specific surface area of activated carbon

Above 1000m2/g, the total volume of fine pores can reach 0.6-0.18ml/g, with a pore size of 1-104mm Statistical distribution.

The adsorption capacity of activated carbon significantly removes halides and total trihalomethanes from water It has an effect, but its removal effect on microorganisms (bacteria, viruses) and soluble heavy metal ions in water is not significant. If the water filtered by activated carbon can be consumed directly, it mainly depends on the water quality of the filtered raw water. If the bacteria and heavy metals in the water exceed the standard, the filtered water cannot be consumed directly. Currently, only Activated carbon is rarely used as a filter material in water purifiers, and it is generally used as a pre filtration device in water purifiers Set
