Product Overview
These 80 CTC 2mm activated carbon pellets (P-80) are produced from selected coal through precision extrusion and high-temperature steam activation. The slim 2 mm pellet delivers a high surface-area-to-volume ratio, giving rapid adsorption kinetics with minimal flow resistance in both compact home filters and industrial fixed beds.
Rated at CTC >80%, this grade handles organic vapor adsorption, VOC treatment, sulfide removal, and gas purification with reliable capacity. For home air purification, the 2 mm format packs densely into thin filter cartridges—capturing formaldehyde, TVOCs, cooking fumes, and smoke odors where thicker 4 mm pellets simply cannot fit. For industrial users, the coal precursor keeps operating costs low across large-volume air handling and catalyst carrier service.
Key Application Areas
- Home Air Purification — Thin-bed 2 mm pellets fit household air purifier cartridges, range hood filters, and refrigerator odor modules, removing formaldehyde, TVOCs, and everyday odors.
- Industrial VOC Treatment — Captures solvent vapors and organic emissions from process exhaust, painting lines, and ventilation streams.
- HVAC Odor Control — Integrates into commercial air handling units for indoor air quality management at low fan energy.
- Catalyst Carrier — Uniform pellet geometry provides a structured substrate for catalytic materials in chemical processing and environmental catalysis.

Key Advantages
- Balanced Gas-Phase Performance: CTC >80% provides reliable capacity for moderate-load VOC and odor applications without the cost premium of ultra-high-activity grades.
- 2 mm Slim Geometry: The small diameter fits thin residential filter cartridges and lowers flow resistance in industrial beds, cutting fan energy in air handling systems.
- Coal-Based Cost Efficiency: Abundant feedstock and mature manufacturing keep unit costs competitive for both consumer filter makers and large-scale projects.
- Uniform Extrusion Quality: Precision die extrusion ensures consistent pellet dimensions batch-to-batch, eliminating channeling and bypass common with irregular granular media.
2 mm Geometry: Fast Kinetics at Low Pressure Drop
In commercial HVAC and industrial ventilation systems, face velocity and pressure drop govern blower sizing and energy consumption. Larger 4 mm pellets reduce pressure drop but lengthen diffusion paths, slowing adsorption equilibrium. Standard granular carbons may offer high surface area yet create uneven flow distribution and channeling in shallow beds.
P-80 addresses these constraints through precision 2 mm extrusion. The slim pellet strikes a balance: high geometric surface area per unit volume enables rapid mass transfer of VOCs and odorous compounds into the micropore network, while the uniform cylindrical geometry ensures consistent bed packing without bypass. In HVAC odor control, this means efficient removal at lower fan energy than finer mesh carbons that create excessive flow resistance. For catalyst support, the uniform pellet geometry provides predictable flow distribution and consistent residence time. The same slim geometry allows P-80 to load into slim home purifier cartridges—industrial-grade adsorption in a residential form factor.
P-80 vs Fine-Mesh Granular and Higher-Activity Pellets
Fine-mesh coconut shell granules such as CTC-100 30×60 mesh maximize surface area and deliver rapid kinetics, yet their high pressure drop demands larger blowers and increases energy consumption in continuous air handling. Higher-activity coal pellets like our CTC 100 grade (P-100) offer superior capacity for solvent recovery, but at a price point that general air purification and odor control rarely justify.
P-80 bridges this gap as a cost-optimized solution. The 2 mm diameter generates approximately 30–40% lower pressure drop than fine-mesh granules while maintaining sufficient CTC >80% capacity for moderate VOC and odor loads. Compared to P-100, it trades maximum capacity for economical operation in non-recovery applications. Choose fine-mesh grades for rapid kinetics in small vessels; select P-100 for premium solvent recovery; choose P-80 for balanced performance across home air purifiers, industrial HVAC, odor control, and catalyst support—where low pressure drop and cost efficiency matter.
