Pellet activated carbon, (also known as extruded activated carbon, columnar activated carbon), is activated carbon compressed into cylindrical shapes. It serves various purposes and finds wide applications in the removal of pollutants from water, air, catalyst carriers, and odor control.
High Mechanical Strength
The long and slender shape of columnar charcoal enables effective mutual support between particles. This structure helps distribute loads under external forces and pressure, enhancing overall mechanical strength.
Low Wear Rate
Columnar charcoal typically has a smaller surface area, resulting in less friction between particles. This contributes to the reduction of particle wear and weathering.
High Adsorption Capacity
Activated carbon pellets possess a high specific surface area and porosity, enabling them to adsorb a significant amount of harmful substances, such as organic compounds and heavy metals in water, as well as volatile organic compounds and smoke in the air.
