Product Overview

PL-380 and PL-480 are coal-based pelletized activated carbons produced using bituminous coal as the primary raw material. The manufacturing process involves crushing and processing the coal-based material, extrusion molding and high-temperature steam activation to develop the porous structure required for adsorption applications.

The extrusion process forms the activated carbon into cylindrical pellets with defined diameters. This product form is commonly used in industrial gas treatment equipment where granular media with controlled dimensions are required.

PL-380 is supplied in a nominal diameter of 3 mm, while PL-480 is available in 4 mm. Both grades have a CTC adsorption value exceeding 80%, with controlled moisture content, bulk density and mechanical strength.

These coal-based extruded activated carbon pellets can be considered for industrial gas purification, VOC adsorption and solvent vapor treatment. Final product selection should take into account the target compounds, inlet gas conditions, equipment configuration and operating requirements.

Key Features

1. Coal-Based Raw Material

PL-380 and PL-480 are manufactured using bituminous coal as the primary raw material. Coal-based activated carbon is widely used in industrial adsorption processes, offering a practical material option for a range of gas-phase purification requirements.

2. Extruded Cylindrical Structure

The extrusion process forms the activated carbon into cylindrical pellets with defined dimensions. This uniform product form is suitable for use in packed-bed adsorption equipment and industrial gas treatment systems.

3. Defined Physical Specifications

Both grades are manufactured with specified parameters for CTC adsorption value, moisture content, bulk density and mechanical strength. These properties provide buyers with measurable criteria for product evaluation and incoming quality inspection.

4. Two Standard Diameter Options

PL-380 and PL-480 provide two nominal diameter options, 3 mm and 4 mm, respectively. Buyers can evaluate the suitable grade according to equipment design, bed configuration and operating requirements.

Applications

Coal-based extruded activated carbon pellets are used in various industrial gas-phase adsorption processes. PL-380 and PL-480 can be evaluated for the following applications:

1. Industrial VOC Treatment

Activated carbon adsorption is commonly used to capture volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial exhaust streams. PL-380 and PL-480 can be considered for systems treating organic vapor emissions from chemical processing, printing, coating and related manufacturing operations.

2. Organic Vapor Adsorption

Industrial exhaust streams may contain hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds, alcohols, esters, ketones and other organic vapors. The suitability of an activated carbon grade depends on the target compounds, concentration, temperature, humidity and required treatment performance.

3. Solvent Vapor Treatment and Recovery

Activated carbon can be used to adsorb solvent vapors from industrial process air. In recovery systems, the selected carbon grade must be evaluated together with the solvent properties, adsorption conditions and regeneration process.

4. Industrial Gas Purification

Coal-based extruded activated carbon can also be considered for gas purification processes where organic contaminants need to be reduced before downstream treatment or processing. Product selection should be based on the actual gas composition and required outlet conditions.

Technical Advantages

Controlled Pellet Geometry

The extrusion process produces cylindrical activated carbon pellets in defined nominal diameters. Consistent pellet dimensions are important when evaluating activated carbon for packed-bed equipment, where media size and bed configuration form part of the system design.

Mechanical Strength

Mechanical strength is an important parameter for activated carbon used in industrial adsorption equipment. PL-380 and PL-480 have a specified hardness (strength) value above 90%, providing a measurable reference for product quality evaluation.

Actual resistance to attrition and particle breakdown during handling and operation should be assessed under the applicable test method and operating conditions.

Physical Property Control

CTC adsorption value, moisture content, bulk density, pellet diameter and particle size distribution are among the key parameters used to evaluate coal-based extruded activated carbon.

Monitoring these properties helps buyers compare product batches against agreed technical specifications and determine whether the material meets their purchasing requirements.

Compatibility with Industrial Adsorption Systems

PL-380 and PL-480 are supplied as cylindrical activated carbon pellets for industrial gas-phase applications. Their suitability for a particular adsorption system depends on gas composition, flow rate, operating temperature, humidity, bed dimensions and other process conditions.

For projects involving regeneration, the solvent properties and regeneration method should also be evaluated before selecting the activated carbon.
