What is the approximate price of activated carbon in wastewater treatment plants?

As the title suggests, what is the approximate price per ton for activated carbon used in wastewater treatment plants? What is the approximate annual consumption? Thank you

Powdered activated carbon with an iodine adsorption value of 160–180 costs around 3,500 yuan.

May I ask: for the purification of industrial wastewater, what is the approximate consumption rate of activated carbon? How many tons of activated carbon do you fill at a time? How often does one need to replace activated carbon, roughly once a year? Is it feasible to use activated coke instead of activated carbon? The iodine value of activated carbon is around 500, but its compressive strength is slightly lower, at about 20. Thank you

What is the main function of activated carbon in wastewater treatment? Remove organic matter to reduce COD? The cost seems really high; why wasn’t resin used as a substitute?

Activated carbon is effective; its price ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 yuan per ton. However, in practical use, the long-term costs are quite high. If it is used for adsorption after aeration, it is advisable to consider using a different process, as it is too costly for companies or individuals to recycle activated carbon. For simply adsorbing substances, many types of resins can be used, and even many BAF systems can perform filtration tasks effectively

4500 per ton. Granular.
