Pellet
Activated Carbon

Extruded cylindrical carbon for gas-phase and fixed-bed applications.

Product Overview

Our pellet (columnar) activated carbon is manufactured through an extrusion process that creates uniform cylindrical pellets with consistent diameter and length. This form factor provides low pressure drop across packed beds and excellent mechanical strength, making it ideal for gas-phase adsorption applications.

Available in both coal-based and coconut shell-based varieties, pellet carbon can be produced with various diameters (1.5mm to 4.0mm) and can be impregnated with chemicals such as KOH, KI, or H₃PO₄ for specialized applications like H₂S removal or mercury capture.

Key Applications

  • VOC removal
  • H₂S & odor control
  • Solvent recovery
  • Gas mask/respirator filters
  • Biogas purification
  • Mercury removal from flue gas
  • Catalyst support
  • Air separation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pellet activated carbon?
Pellet (columnar/extruded) carbon is manufactured by extruding carbon powder into uniform cylindrical shapes. Low pressure drop and consistent flow for gas-phase applications.
What diameter should I choose?
4mm is most popular worldwide. 0.9-1.5mm for cigarette filters. 3mm for compact systems. 5-8mm for large industrial installations.
What is CTC?
CTC (Carbon Tetrachloride activity) measures gas-phase adsorption capacity. CTC 50-60 for H₂S removal. CTC 70-80 for high-performance VOC removal.
Can pellet carbon be impregnated?
Yes, KOH-impregnated 4mm pellets are the industry standard for biogas desulfurization. Also available with NaOH, KI, sulfur, and KMnO₄.
Pellet vs granular?
Pellets offer lower pressure drop and uniform flow — preferred for gas phase. Granular has more surface area per volume — better for liquid phase like water treatment.
