What Does Activated Carbon Adsorb?

Organic Compounds

highly effective at removing organic contaminants:

  • Pesticides & herbicides (Atrazine, Glyphosate (Roundup), 2,4-D)

  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – solvents, fuels, industrial chemicals (Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, 
    Formaldehyde, Acetone, Petroleum hydrocarbons). Pharmaceutical Residues (Antibiotics, Hormones (estrogen, BPA), Painkillers (ibuprofen, acetaminophen))

  • Disinfection byproducts like Trihalomethanes (THMs) and  Haloacetic acids (HAAs)

  • Chlorine-based compounds (sodium hypochlorite, chloramines)

  • Ozone (O₃) – breaks down organic contaminants

  • Total Organic Carbon (TOCs) – decaying plant/animal matter

Chlorine

  • Removes chlorine taste and odor from water.

Heavy Metals (Under Certain Conditions)

While not all heavy metals bind easily, activated carbon can adsorb:

  • Mercury

  • Lead (Pb) – especially when combined with other media like KDF

  • Cadmium (Cd)

  • Copper (Cu)

  • Nickel (Ni)

  • Chromium (Cr) – depends on oxidation state

  • Arsenic (As) – limited effectiveness (works better with iron-enhanced carbon)
Odors & Gases

  • Eliminates hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell)

Sediment & Microscopic Impurities

  • Filters out fine particles, residual disinfectants, and turbidity, rust and silt

Microorganisms (Indirectly)

Activated carbon does not kill bacteria/viruses, but it can:

  • Remove organic matter that bacteria feed on

  • Improve the effectiveness of UV or other disinfection methods

Spherical activated carbon is an efficient form of activated carbon. It can be used in combination with other filtration media and activated carbon media (Jacobi and Bamboo) to help extend their lifespan.

Its uniform spherical shape allows for optimal packing density, reducing fluid resistance in fixed-bed systems. This design enables smooth, uninterrupted adsorption and chemical reactions. It is widely used in toxic gas purification, industrial waste gas treatment, and water purification for both industrial and household applications.
Activated Carbon has an astonishing adsorption power: a teaspoon has more surface area than a football field. This incredible material is packed with microscopic pores, making it one of the most effective adsorption agents in the world. Its highly porous structure allows it to attract and hold molecules through adsorption.


What Activated Carbon Does Not Remove Effectively

  • Dissolved salts (e.g., sodium, fluoride, nitrates – requires reverse osmosis)

  • Hard water minerals (calcium, magnesium – needs a water softener)

  • Most viruses & bacteria (requires UV, boiling, or chemical disinfection)


For best results, combine activated carbon with other filtration methods (KDF, reverse osmosis, or ceramic filters) to target a broader range of contaminants.

How long should your MEER Water Filter last?
How much water do you consume? What impurity concentration do you have? And so many other considered variables... We cannot give you an absolute answer because water profiles vary between zip codes, seasons and from year-to-year. If you were to compare our filters with another comparable size & structure, you will find our water filters realistically last 2-3 times longer because of our premium filtration media. This equates to years and thousands of gallons cleaned. 


We are probably the only brand in the water filtration arena that does not use disclaimers to obscure or exaggerate our filtration abilities.
