Impregnated Activated Carbon
Manufacturer & Supplier

Chemically enhanced carbon for targeted gas removal. KOH, KI, sulfur, and custom impregnations for H₂S, mercury, and acid gases.

Product Overview

Impregnated activated carbon combines physical adsorption with chemical reaction to achieve superior removal of specific target gases. By infusing the carbon with reactive chemicals, we create a dual-mechanism adsorbent that can remove contaminants that standard carbon cannot effectively capture.

Our impregnation facility can process both pellet and granular carbon with a wide range of chemicals. We offer standard formulations as well as custom impregnation to match your exact application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is impregnated activated carbon?
Impregnated activated carbon is standard activated carbon that has been infused with specific chemicals (like KOH, KI, or sulfur) to enhance its ability to remove target contaminants. The impregnant reacts chemically with the pollutant, providing both physical adsorption and chemical reaction for superior removal efficiency.
Which impregnant should I choose for H₂S removal?
For H₂S removal, KOH or NaOH impregnated carbon is the most common choice. KOH-impregnated 4mm pellets are the industry standard for biogas desulfurization, natural gas sweetening, and wastewater odor control. Typical H₂S working capacity is 0.15-0.30 g/cm³.
Can you customize the impregnation rate?
Yes, we can customize the impregnation rate from 5% to 20% by weight depending on your application requirements. Higher impregnation rates provide greater chemical capacity but may reduce physical adsorption capacity.
What is the shelf life of impregnated carbon?
Impregnated activated carbon should be stored in sealed containers in a dry environment. Shelf life is typically 12-24 months depending on the impregnant type. KOH and NaOH types are more sensitive to moisture and should be used within 12 months.
Do you provide technical support for selecting the right product?
Yes, our technical team can help you select the optimal impregnant type, base carbon, and impregnation rate based on your specific gas composition, flow rate, temperature, and target removal efficiency. Contact us with your application details for a free recommendation.
