Product parameters
Activated carbon selection table.
Recommended starting ranges for technical discussion. Final values depend on the stream, test method and buyer specification.
| Carbon option | Iodine value | Typical size | Suitable conditions | Selection effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pellet carbon | 800–1100 mg/g | 3 mm / 4 mm | Fixed beds; VOCs and odor | Stable airflow and broad adsorption |
| Honeycomb carbon | 600–900 mg/g | 100×100×100 mm | High-volume, low-concentration exhaust | Low pressure drop |
| Impregnated pellet | Application-specific | 3 mm / 4 mm | H₂S, NH₃ or selected reactive gases | Chemisorption support |
| Coal-based granular | 800–1000 mg/g | 4×8 / 8×16 mesh | Solvent vapor and process gas | Balanced capacity and strength |

Frequently asked questions
Technical answers for buyers.
Need a faster review? Send the available process data with your inquiry.
Yes. Share your process data and target limits so we can prepare a relevant evaluation sample. Freight is normally paid by the buyer.
Iodine value, particle size, strength, moisture and packing can be discussed against the equipment and required outlet quality.
Please provide the stream composition, target contaminants, inlet and outlet limits, flow, temperature, humidity or pH, contact time and current equipment.
Service life depends on actual contaminant loading, competing compounds and operating conditions. Pilot testing and breakthrough monitoring provide the most reliable estimate.
