DIN EN 15798:2010-05 EN 15798:2010 (E) 9 Annex A (informative) General information on filter media A.1 Origin A.1.1 Raw materials Virgin granular activated carbon can be produced from virtually any carbonaceous material, e.g. coal, lignite
46、, peat, coconut shell and wood. Natural pumice, natural silica sand, silica gravel, natural anthracite coal, natural coal and natural limestone. A.1.2 Manufacturing process For activated carbon, the carbonaceous material is subjected to controlled oxidation during which a highly porous structure is
47、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 presence of an oxidizing gas (usually steam) under carefully controlled conditions for several hours. Chemical activation involves heating to betwe
48、en 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 pulverizing 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 screenin
