impregnated carbon is activated carbon modified with a reagent or catalyst to increase the removal capacity of a specific compound.

What does impregnated carbon mean in practice?

The added reagent reacts with a specific gas or compound, extending the effects of the carbon beyond simple physical adsorption.

Impregnation is targeted and may not work on other pollutants; humidity, pH and reagent consumption are important.

Which solutions are related to it?

A product formulated for the assayed compound is selected and a replacement point is determined based on a post-filter test.
