Pelletized Activated Carbon
Pelleted Aggregate Carbon, or Extruded Aggregate Carbon, is a specialized type of activated carbon with cylindrical shaped (and uniform sized and shape) adsorbent material. This manufactured adsorbent material is a function of a 5-step manufacturing process: preparing the raw material; preparing the binder; extrusion; carbonization; and activation.
Key characteristics of Pelletized Activated Carbon
Physical Properties:
- Cylindrical shape with diameters typically ranging from 0.8 to 5 mm
- High mechanical strength and low wear rate
- High surface area, often between 500 to 1500 m²/g
- Low bulk density
Structural Features:
- Well-developed pore structure with micro, meso, and macropores
- High specific surface area, often exceeding 1000 m²/g
- Extended pore volume
Chemical Properties:
- Low ash content
- Chemical stability
- Customizable surface chemistry through impregnation
Performance Attributes:
- High adsorption capacity
- Excellent flow dynamics with low pressure drop
- Uniform particle size distribution
Thermal Properties:
- Primarily derived from coal, wood, or coconut shells
- Manufactured with suitable binders under stringent quality control
Pelletized Activated Carbon’s unique combination of uniform shape, high surface area, and tailored pore structure makes it an ideal choice for various gas-phase applications where consistent performance and low pressure drop are critical factors.

Applications
Gas Treatment
Due to its effective removal of toxic substances and odors from industrial emissions, pelletized activated carbon is commonly used in gas purification devices, while its size provides consistency in flow rates, or standardization, enabling ease of usage in air treatment solutions in an industrial context and pollution control operations.
Water Treatment
In water treatment applications, pelletized activated carbon effectively removes organic compounds, taste and odour from drinking water and wastewater. The structure of pelletized activated carbon allows for an extremely high adsorption capacity, low pressure drop, and provides effectiveness in both municipal and industrial water purification as part of water treatment processes.
Pharmaceutical Applications
In the pharmaceutical industry, pelletized activated carbon is used for purification of medicines and the detoxification of medicines as well. The consistency in shape and size assists in providing a constant flow rate of either medicinal or toxic compounds, allowing for uniform adsorption being used in single-reference pharmaceutical product manufacturing.
Food Industry
In food processing applications, pelletized activated carbon is used for the decolourization, purification and removal of impurities from food products. This ensures the quality of the product produced for example, when used in white sugar refining and beverage production improves the taste and clarity of the food product.
