Typical sourcing range
Specifications buyers can use to prepare an RFQ
These are common or configurable manufacturing ranges, not a batch guarantee. Final acceptance values, methods and tolerances are confirmed in the signed product specification and batch COA.
| Raw material | Primarily anthracite or bituminous coal powder; selected specialty grades may use wood or coconut carbon |
|---|---|
| Form | Cylindrical or columnar pellets |
| Particle size | Common diameters: 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 mm; 4 mm is widely requested |
| Iodine value | Typical configurable range: 700-1,100 mg/g |
| CTC activity | Typical range: 40-90%; common grades are often 50-75% |
| Hardness | Typical range: 90-97%; >=95% is a common sourcing target |
| Ash | Typically <=12%; lower-ash gas grades require confirmation |
| Moisture | Typically <=5% |
| pH | Typically 8-11; impregnated grades depend on the impregnant |
| Apparent density | Typical range: 400-700 g/L |
Send these fields for grade matching
Gas composition, concentration, humidity, temperature, airflow, bed depth, pressure-drop limit, diameter, quantity and destination.
Application fit
Common use directions
- VOC and solvent-vapor adsorption
- Odor-control beds
- Oil and gas vapor recovery
- Industrial gas treatment and catalyst support
Custom manufacturing
Fields that can be reviewed
Diameter, length, CTC, iodine value, hardness, loading density and selected KOH, NaOH, KI, sulfur or application-specific impregnation.
Test-method note: Common methods include ASTM D3467 for CTC, ASTM D5742/D5228 for butane activity or working capacity, ASTM D3802 for hardness and ASTM D2854 for apparent density.
Grade selection
How to specify Pellet Activated Carbon for a bulk order
Use the application, equipment and agreed test methods to turn a typical product range into a contract specification.
Selection factors
- Choose pellet diameter from airflow, bed depth, acceptable pressure drop and mechanical handling conditions.
- Provide the full gas composition, contaminant concentration, humidity and temperature before selecting activity.
- Use CTC or butane working capacity for suitable VOC duties and a breakthrough-capacity test for reactive gases such as H2S.
- Specify an impregnant only after contaminant chemistry, safety, disposal and service-life requirements are reviewed.
Quality checks to discuss
- ASTM D3467 CTC activity
- ASTM D5742 or D5228 butane testing
- ASTM D3802 hardness
- ASTM D2854 apparent density
- Diameter, length and pressure-drop review
Contract boundary: The signed specification identifies guaranteed values, methods, sampling and tolerances. Website ranges remain sourcing references.

FAQ
Pellet Activated Carbon purchasing questions
Diameter depends on airflow, bed depth, pressure-drop limit and mechanical handling. Four millimeters is common, but the equipment design should control the final selection.
Selected KOH, NaOH, KI, sulfur and other treatments can be reviewed for specific contaminants. Chemistry, safety and performance requirements must be confirmed before quotation.
CTC is common, but some projects use butane activity, butane working capacity, H2S breakthrough capacity or an application-specific test instead.
