What is the advantage of reactivating spent carbon?
The reactivation process recycles the spent carbon for reuse. Adsorbed organics are destroyed and the activated carbon’s adsorptive capacity is restored. The cost and long-term liability of disposal are avoided. Reactivated carbon also represents a cost savings over virgin carbons. The adsorptive capacity of the spent carbon can be restored at a lower cost than the manufacture of activated carbon from raw material.
