IMPREGNATED ACTIVATED CARBON
Impregnated activated carbon is a specialized adsorbent created by adding special chemicals to standard activated carbon. This process enhances its adsorption capabilities towards target pollutants. With its customized surface chemistry, enhanced reactivity and tailored adsorption properties, impregnated activated carbon provides superior performance for specific applications. It is widely used in gas mask filters, mercury removal from flue gases, hydrogen sulfide removal and other industrial and environmental applications requiring selective removal of contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the minimum order quantity?
Our minimum order quantity is 1 ton. For personalized products, the minimum order quantity may vary depending on product type and personalization requirements. We recommend customers to contact our sales department for more details.
- What are the main parameters that determine the quality of activated carbon?
The quality of activated carbon is primarily determined by the following parameters:
- Specific surface area (BET): Usually measured in m²/g, more is better
- Adsorption capacity: Usually expressed as iodine number (mg/g)
- Pore structure: Includes distribution of micropores, mesopores and macropores
- Ash content: A low ash content usually indicates a higher degree of purity
- Hardness: Particularly important for granular activated carbon
- pH value: Affects the effectiveness of activated carbon in specific application conditions
The importance of these parameters may vary depending on the specific application.
- What is the process of activated carbon production?
The basic process of activated carbon production includes the following steps:
- Selection of raw materials: Select suitable materials for carbon production, such as wood, coconut shells, charcoal, etc.
- Carbonization: Heating of raw materials in an oxygen-deficient environment to produce carbonized material
- Activation: Increase porosity using physical (e.g. steam) or chemical (e.g. zinc chloride) methods.
- Cooling and washing: removal of impurities and residual activating agents
- How to determine the quality of activated carbon?
The quality of activated charcoal can be assessed by the following aspects:
- Study the product specification, paying attention to key parameters such as iodine number and specific surface area
- Conducting laboratory tests such as adsorption performance tests
- Note the appearance; high quality activated carbon usually has uniform particles with no obvious impurities
- Check the ash content; less is usually better.
- Consider application-specific performance
