Impregnated Activated Carbon

Impregnated Activated Carbon is specially treated activated carbon in which the pores are impregnated with chemicals (such as silver, iodine, potassium hydroxide, or phosphoric acid) to enhance performance against specific contaminants.
This treatment allows the carbon not only to adsorb impurities but also to catalytically react with and neutralize harmful gases, microorganisms, and chemicals.
