LEWATIT® AF 5
Product Description
LEWATIT® AF 5 is a microporous activated carbon like adsorber consisiting of spherical beads derived from a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. The unique manufacturing/activation process results in a small and very uniform pore size which facilitates the selective removal of small polar molecules as well as size exclusion chromatography. LEWATIT® AF 5 is particularly suitable for the following applications:
- Water treatment: removal of trace amounts of organic substances such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, MTBE, organic phosphates, amines, pesticides and other metabolites
- Removal of organics from electroplating process streams
- Isolation of pharmaceutically active compounds
- Removal of acetic acid from brine
- Regenerable without additional activation: the elution is usually carried out with hot water or steam
- Narrow bead size distribution
- Excellent mechanical stability towards abrasion and attrition due to the spherical shape of its particles
