reactive media

Reactive media refers to materials used in filtration, water treatment, or chemical processes that actively respond to changes in their environment, such as pH, contaminants, or other stimuli. Unlike passive filters, reactive media can chemically transform or neutralize pollutants as they pass through, improving effectiveness. Examples include activated carbon that adsorbs toxins, or specialized mineral beds that react with contaminants to deactivate them. This dynamic response enhances purification and treatment efficiency, making reactive media valuable in applications requiring tailored or adaptive filtration solutions.
