Do carbon filters remove odor? 420 Guide 2020 Updated

What is an Activated Carbon Filter?
Activated carbon filters are small pieces of carbon, typically in granular or powdered block form, that have been treated to be extremely porous. It is so cavernous, in fact, that just one gram of activated carbon can easily have a surface area of 500m2 or higher. Vast surface area enables these carbon filters to adsorb exponentially more contaminants and allergens than traditional carbon.

Carbon filters for grow tent are handy for gardeners because thy remove chlorine, organic compounds, sediments, and even taste and odor from water, but do not remove the minerals that are valuable to plants. For this reason, carbon filters are common for use in homes, aquariums, garden ponds, and wastewater treatment.

How do activated carbon filters work ?
Activated carbon filters use a process called adsorption. Gas, chemicals and odors are trapped inside the pore structure of the carbon substrate. The air - purified from contaminants - comes out the filter.

What to look for in a carbon filter?
The number of carbon matters  
Activated carbon adsorbs to its surface. Hence when fully adsorbed, the capability to be useful is depleted. Also, the amounts of pollutants being adsorbed, a small amount of carbon can be consumed within weeks making the filter useless. Therefore, the number of odor produced will influence the amount of carbon in the filter one can purchase.

The thickness of carbon matters 
The more contact time carbon has with a pollutant, the better chances there are for the odor to be adsorbed. Also, the thicker the carbon filter the better the adsorption.
