Activated Carbon for Compressor Oil

Compressed air systems play an indispensable role in modern industrial production and are known as the "fourth power". However, oil contamination in compressed air has always been a major problem. Activated carbon has become a key material to solve this problem due to its excellent adsorption properties.
Activated Carbon for Compressor Oil

At present, most compressors must use lubricating oil when working, which inevitably causes oil impurities in compressed air. Its main components are hydrocarbon compounds, which affect the use of compressed air in subsequent processes. Therefore, the oil content in compressed air is one of the important indicators in its quality standards.

How does activated carbon remove oil from an air compressor?

The adsorption principle of activated carbon mainly depends on its rich microporous structure and huge specific surface area. When oil molecules pass through the activated carbon layer, due to the intermolecular interaction force, the oil molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the activated carbon, thereby achieving the oil removal effect. There are many types of activated carbon, and the common ones are wood activated carbon, coal-based activated carbon, etc. These activated carbons have their own characteristics in pore size distribution, adsorption capacity, regeneration performance, etc., and they need to be screened according to specific needs.
