With the increasing attention to health and environmental protection, formaldehyde removal in new houses has become a work that must be done after the decoration is completed. Activated carbon has attracted much attention as a widely used formaldehyde removal method.
So is activated carbon really useful for removing formaldehyde in new houses?What other good ways to do it?This article will explain it in detail for you.
First, the principle of activated carbon to remove formaldehyde
Activated carbon is a highly adsorptive material with many tiny pores on its surface, which can effectively adsorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde in the air. When the activated carbon adsorbs a certain amount of formaldehyde, it will reach a saturated state, and it needs to be replaced with a new activated carbon.
2. Advantages and disadvantages of activated carbon in removing formaldehyde
Pros:Activated carbon material has the advantages of easy use, simple operation, safety and reliability, and is the preferred method for many people to remove formaldehyde in new houses.
Cons:The adsorption capacity of activated carbon is limited, and it needs to be dried or replaced frequently, otherwise it will cause the re-release of formaldehyde. Therefore, activated carbon may not be effective for some high concentrations of formaldehyde.
3. Other methods of removing formaldehyde
1.Ventilation
Ventilation is a simple and effective way to remove formaldehyde. By opening windows for ventilation, indoor and outdoor air can be circulated, thereby reducing the concentration of formaldehyde in the room. At the same time, ventilation also keeps the room dry and avoids musty and rancid odors caused by moisture.
2.Plants remove formaldehyde
Plants have a certain ability to absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde, such as spider plant, tiger tail orchid, pothos, etc. Placing some of these plants indoors can not only beautify the environment, but also play a certain role in removing formaldehyde.
3.Formaldehyde removal spray
The aldeformity removal spray has good operability, it is more convenient and quick to use, and the treatment effect is also good. Muguanglan is a relatively easy to use one, and the online praise is also very high, it can penetrate into the interior of the furniture to decompose formaldehyde, which can play a role 24 hours a day, and the effect of removing formaldehyde is fast and good, and it is not ** in the later stage, it is a good helper for indoor aldehyde removal.
4.Physisorption materials
Compared with activated carbon, Ruishi is more popular, and it is more convenient and efficient to use, because it has the dual effect of adsorption and decomposition of formaldehyde, it is not easy to be saturated, it can last for 2-3 years, and it is more cost-effective, which is very suitable for people who are busy now.
In short, activated carbon is a more commonly used method for removing formaldehyde in new houses, but it is necessary to pay attention to its advantages and disadvantages and use methods. There are also other useful ways to do this. Choosing the appropriate formaldehyde removal method according to the specific situation can provide better protection for our healthy and environmentally friendly life.
