Impregnated activated carbon is a chemically modified activated carbon designed to remove contaminants that cannot be effectively treated by conventional activated carbon.
By loading specific chemical agents into the porous structure of activated carbon, the surface properties are enhanced, providing selective adsorption and chemical reaction capabilities. Compared with standard activated carbon, impregnated carbon combines physical and chemical adsorption, making it more effective against challenging pollutants.
Xingsen manufactures customized impregnated activated carbon using high-quality pellet and granular activated carbon as carriers. Different impregnants are selected according to the target pollutants and operating conditions, including KOH, NaOH, KI, KMnO₄, CuO, sulfur compounds, and other chemical formulations.

By precisely controlling the impregnation process, active chemicals are uniformly distributed throughout the carbon pores, ensuring stable adsorption performance and long service life.
Impregnated pellet activated carbon is produced by using extruded activated carbon as the carrier and introducing specific chemical agents into its pore structure.
The cylindrical shape provides excellent mechanical strength, low pressure drop, and stable airflow distribution, making it ideal for fixed-bed adsorption systems and continuous gas purification applications.

Different pollutants require different chemical reactions. Xingsen provides customized impregnation solutions according to your purification requirements.
| Target Pollutant | Recommended Impregnation |
| Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) | KOH, NaOH, K₂CO₃ |
| Mercury (Hg) | Sulfur, KI |
| Ammonia (NH₃) | Acid-impregnated carbon |
| VOCs | KMnO₄, metal compounds |
| Toxic gases | CuO, metal oxides |
Impregnated activated carbon is activated carbon treated with specific chemicals to improve adsorption selectivity and chemical reaction capability for targeted pollutants.
Standard activated carbon mainly removes contaminants through physical adsorption, while impregnated activated carbon combines physical adsorption with chemical reactions for higher selectivity.
It is commonly used for removing H₂S, mercury vapor, VOCs, ammonia, SO₂, NOx, and industrial odors.
Common impregnants include KOH, NaOH, KI, KMnO₄, CuO, sulfur compounds, and other customized chemicals.
