Types of Pelletized Activated Carbon Pellets

Coal based activated carbon pellets with high hardness for VOC removal and gas purification

Coal Based Activated Carbon Pellets

Coal-based activated carbon pellets are produced from high-quality anthracite coal through carbonization, activation, and extrusion molding processes.
With high mechanical strength and low pressure drop, ideal for fixed-bed adsorbers, coal-based activated carbon pellets are widely used in fixed-bed adsorption systems.

Key Advantages:
• High hardness (≥95%) and low dust generation for long-term fixed-bed operation
• Developed micropore structure with iodine value up to 1100 mg/g
• Thermal regeneration capability without significant capacity loss

Typical Specification:

Parameter Value
Diameter 0.8-8 mm
CTC 20-90%
Iodine Value 600-1100 mg/g
Hardness 90-99%
Bulk Density 400-520 kg/m³
Moisture ≤5-10%
Ash 8-14%
pH 8-11
Coal tar based activated carbon pellets for industrial gas treatment and adsorption applications

Coal Tar Based Activated Carbon Pellets

Coal tar-based activated carbon pellets utilize premium coal tar as a binder during production. This creates a strong carbon framework with well-developed porosity and high adsorption capacity for industrial purification applications.

Advantages:
• Ultra-high surface area and bimodal pore structure for large organic molecules
• Excellent adsorption efficiency for heavy metals, phenols, and dye compounds
• Suitable for both gas-phase and liquid-phase applications

FAQ

What is pelletized activated carbon?

Pelletized activated carbon is an extruded cylindrical activated carbon product with high strength, low dust, and excellent adsorption performance.

What is the difference between granular and pelletized activated carbon?

Pelletized activated carbon has a uniform cylindrical shape, lower pressure drop, and better mechanical strength, making it suitable for gas-phase adsorption systems.

What sizes of activated carbon pellets are available?

Common sizes include 0.8mm to 8mm in diameter. Customized sizes are also available.

Can activated carbon pellets be customized?

Yes. XINGSEN provides customized activated carbon pellets based on iodine value, CTC, hardness, ash content, moisture, size, packaging, and application requirements.

CTC value vs Iodine value – which parameter is more important for my application?

CTC (carbon tetrachloride activity) is a better indicator for gas-phase VOC adsorption and solvent recovery. Iodine value is more relevant for liquid-phase applications and small-molecule adsorption. XINGSEN can recommend the right balance based on your target pollutants.

How many times can pelletized activated carbon be regenerated?

The regeneration cycles depend on contaminant type, operating conditions, and regeneration method. Under suitable conditions, pelletized activated carbon can be regenerated multiple times.
