PL-390
purestar
PL-390 columnar activated carbon is produced from selected bituminous coal through precision grinding, binder extrusion into 4mm columns, and controlled high-temperature steam activation. The enhanced activation process creates a pore structure optimized for both catalyst support and gas-phase adsorption applications.
Ideal for catalytic reaction support, VOC/hydrocarbon control, and chemical process applications requiring robust, high-activity carbon media.

Q1: What distinguishes PL-390 from PL-490?
A: PL-390 features enhanced activation for higher surface area and modified surface chemistry optimized for catalyst support, while PL-490 emphasizes maximum CTC activity for VOC recovery.
Q2: Is PL-390 suitable for precious metal catalysts?
A: Yes, PL-390's controlled surface chemistry and high purity make it suitable for platinum, palladium, and gold catalyst support in fine chemical synthesis.
Q3: Can PL-390 be acid-washed for ultra-pure applications?
A: Yes, acid-washed variants are available to achieve ash content <8% for sensitive catalytic applications.
Q4: What is the recommended catalyst loading procedure?
A: Standard incipient wetness impregnation is typically used. Our technical team can provide guidance on specific metal precursor systems.
Q5: Is PL-390 suitable for fixed-bed or fluidized-bed reactors?
A: PL-390's 4mm columnar form is primarily designed for fixed-bed applications. For fluidized beds, consider our spherical or crushed carbon products.
