Granular Activated Carbon
Description Specifications CENTAUR NDS 12x40

CENTAUR NDS 12x40 is a liquid phase virgin activated carbon that Iodine Number, mg/g 900 (min)
has been manufactured to exhibit enhanced catalytic functionality.
The product is unique in that it concentrates reactants via adsorption Abrasion Number 75 (min)
and then promotes their reaction on the surface of the pores. pH (Extractable) 58
CENTAUR NDS 12x40 is produced from bituminous coal using a
Moisture (As Packaged), wt% 3.0 (max)
patented process. Although it is not impregnated with metals or alkali,
it displays the catalytic functionality of these materials. In most cases NSF 42- Arsenic [As], ppb 10 (max)
CENTAUR NDS 12x40 can be reactivated and does not present the NSF 42- Antimony [Sb], ppb 6 (max)
disposal concerns associated with impregnated carbons. This product
complies with the requirements for activated carbon as defined by the NSF 42- Aluminum [Al], ppb 200 (max)
Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) (8th Edition) published by the U.S. Prop 65- Arsenic [As], ppb 5.0 (max)
Pharmacopeia, is certified as a component to the NSF/ANSI
Prop 65- Antimony [Sb], ppb 3.0 (max)
42 Drinking Water Treatment Units Aesthetic Effects standard, and
meets the requirements for arsenic level for a raw material as Prop 65- Aluminum [Al], ppb 200.0 (max)
defined by the consent judgment dated September 9, 2008 for case
