35、tions. 6 Chemical properties 6.1 General Granular activated carbon is manufactured by controlled oxidation (by means of steam or chemicals) from carbonaceous raw materials including coconut, wood, peat or coal. The raw materials shall be stated by the manufacturer. High internal porosity results in

36、adsorptive properties and, depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process, it can have acid or basic properties. It is a reducing agent with catalytic properties. Activated carbon can react with oxidants to form carbon dioxide. The carbon content of the commercial product does not affec

Limits are given for impurities commonly present in the product. Depen

38、ding on the raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities. NOTE Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity f

Limits have been given for impurities and chemical parameters where these are likely to be present in signi

40、ficant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If the production process or raw materials lead to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. 6.2.2 Impurities and main by-products The product shall confor
