44、dia A.1 Origin A.1.1 Raw materials Virgin granular activated carbon can be produced from virtually any carbonaceous material, e.g. coal, lignite, peat, coconut shell and wood. Natural pumice, natural silica sand, silica gravel, natural anthracite coal, natural coal and natural limestone. A.1.2 Manuf
45、acturing process For activated carbon, the carbonaceous material is subjected to controlled oxidation during which a highly porous structure is developed. The raw material is activated, thermally (most common) or chemically. Thermal activation involves heating to between 800 C and 1 100 C in the pre
46、sence of an oxidizing gas (usually steam) under carefully controlled conditions for several hours. Chemical activation involves heating to between 400 C and 700 C in the presence of a dehydrating agent (e.g. phosphoric acid). After activation the material is cooled, then prepared, e.g. by pulverizin
47、g and sieving to extract the desired particle size, and packaged. Pumice, silica sand and silica gravel are produced by quarrying, dredging or crushing, cleaning, drying, and sieving. Calcium carbonate is manufactured by quarrying, crushing, cleaning and subsequent screening of natural limestone or
48、carbonisation of calcium hydroxide. Anthracite is produced by mining, crushing, cleaning, drying and sieving. Pyrolyzed coal material is produced from natural coal, thermally treated in a special oven, and sieved. A.2 Properties For the particle size range, the density, the chemical composition, the
49、 adsorption properties and the hydraulic characteristics see the relevant subclauses in the annex of EN 1018, EN 12904, EN 12906, EN 12907, EN 12909 and EN 12915-1. A.3 Use A.3.1 Function Virgin granular activated carbon and pyrolyzed coal material are used for the removal of excess oxidants such as chlorine, ozone and permanganate from swimming pool water. They can be used to prevent fouling of resins and/or membranes. If granular activated carbon or pyroly
