Coal pellet activated carbon — cylindrical extruded carbon
Gas Phase Specialist

Coal Pellet
Activated Carbon

Extruded cylindrical pellets with uniform diameter and low pressure drop. The go-to choice for gas phase adsorption.

Product Overview

Coal-based pellet (columnar) activated carbon is manufactured by extruding coal-based carbon powder with binder into uniform cylindrical shapes, followed by carbonization and steam activation. The resulting pellets offer excellent mechanical strength, low pressure drop, and high CTC adsorption values.

4mm diameter is the most popular specification globally. Available in standard, impregnated (KOH, KI, NaOH), and catalytic grades for specialized applications like H₂S removal and mercury capture.

Available Diameters

Φ 0.9 – 1.5mm

Fine gas treatment, cigarette filters

Φ 3.0 – 4.0mm

VOC removal, H₂S removal (most popular)

Φ 5.0 – 8.0mm

Large-scale industrial gas treatment

Key Applications

  • VOC removal & air purification
  • H₂S removal from biogas & natural gas
  • Solvent recovery systems
  • Flue gas desulfurization
  • Catalyst carrier / support
  • Pressure swing adsorption (PSA)
  • Industrial exhaust treatment
  • Odor control systems

Frequently Asked Questions

What is coal pellet activated carbon?
Coal pellet (columnar/extruded) activated carbon is manufactured by extruding coal-based carbon powder with binder into uniform cylindrical shapes. It offers low pressure drop and high CTC values, making it the go-to choice for gas phase applications like H₂S removal and VOC adsorption.
What diameter is most popular?
4mm is the global standard for general gas treatment including H₂S removal and VOC adsorption. 0.9-1.5mm for cigarette filters. 3mm for compact systems. 5-8mm for large industrial installations with high flow rates.
What is CTC and what value do I need?
CTC (Carbon Tetrachloride activity) measures gas-phase adsorption capacity. CTC 50-60 is standard for H₂S removal. CTC 70-80 for high-performance VOC removal. CTC 30-40 for basic odor control applications.
Can pellet carbon be impregnated?
Yes, KOH-impregnated 4mm pellets are the industry standard for biogas desulfurization. We also offer NaOH, KI, sulfur, and KMnO₄ impregnation for mercury capture, acid gas removal, and formaldehyde removal.
What is the MOQ and delivery time?
MOQ is 3 tons. Standard products ship within 7-10 days. Impregnated products may require 15-20 days. Free samples available for testing before bulk orders.
