Material selection: activated carbon Activated carbon is used to filter both liquids and gases, it cleanses the air and liquids of inpurities, such as odurs or small unseeable objects in the air/ water. It removes unorganic compounds that are not supposed or naturally in the air/water and purifies gases too by trapping them in its micro sockets, as seen on the diagram on the right. The material itself can be sourced from sustainable manners in which why we have chosen this as one of the main materials, activated carbon can be sourced from things such as old coconut shells which can be recycled easily and wouldn’t leave a footprint on the planet, which ties in nicely with design futuring and keeping our planet green and not destroying it. Furthermore our design itself will help to cleanse the air and create a cleaner environment, it will act like a man made tree.
