The iodine in activated carbon usually refers to elemental iodine (I₂). Activated carbon can effectively adsorb iodine molecules due to its porous structure and high specific surface area. Utilizing the adsorption and sustained-release properties of activated carbon and the bactericidal and disinfecting properties of iodine, this iodine-loaded activated carbon is often used in fields such as water treatment, air purification, and medical disinfection.

Iodine Impregnated Activated Carbon Preparation
1.Prepare materials
- Activated carbon: Select activated carbon with high specific surface area and porous structure.
- Iodine: Use elemental iodine (I₂), usually in the form of solid crystals.
- Solvent: Such as ethanol or water, used to dissolve iodine.
2.Dissolve iodine
Pour elemental iodine into a special solvent to dissolve and fix elemental iodine.
3.Soaking activated carbon
Soak the activated carbon in the iodine solution to ensure full contact.
The soaking time is usually a few hours to a day, and the specific time is adjusted according to needs.
4.Drying treatment
Take out the activated carbon after impregnation and place it in a ventilated place or oven to dry and remove the solvent.
The drying temperature is generally controlled at 50-80°C to avoid high temperature causing iodine volatilization.
5.Storage
The dried iodine-loaded activated carbon should be stored in a sealed container to avoid light and moisture.
6.Quality control
Test the iodine content to ensure it meets the application requirements.
Precautions:
- Operation environment: Perform in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation of iodine vapor.
- Safety protection: Wear gloves and masks to prevent iodine from contacting the skin or inhalation.
Through the above steps, a highly efficient activated carbon impregnated with iodine material can be prepared, which is suitable for fields such as water treatment, air purification and medical disinfection.
The price of iodine varies depending on purity, purpose, and region. Therefore, the price of iodine-loaded activated carbon also varies. If you want to know more information, you can click the contact information below to inquire now.
Iodine Impregnated Activated Carbon Uses
Iodine-loaded activated carbon has a variety of applications, mainly in the fields of water treatment, air purification, medicine, etc.:
Gas treatment
Air purification: Iodine impregnated activated carbon is often used in air purification equipment to remove harmful gases in the air, such as mercury, formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, etc. It is often used to purify the air in laboratories, chemical plants, hospitals and other environments.
Industrial waste gas treatment: Iodine-loaded activated carbon can effectively adsorb and remove harmful components in some industrial waste gases, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), toxic gases, etc.
Water treatment
Iodine-loaded activated carbon can effectively remove organic pollutants, odors, and certain toxic substances in water. Due to the adsorption characteristics of iodine itself, it can react with and adsorb certain harmful substances in water (such as chlorine, odor molecules, ammonia, etc.), thereby purifying the water quality.
Radioactive material removal
Iodine impregnated activated carbon can adsorb radioactive substances such as radioactive iodine (such as I-131), and is therefore widely used in radioactively contaminated environments (such as nuclear power plants and radiation-contaminated sites) to purify the air and reduce radiation risks.
Food and pharmaceutical industries
Food: In food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing, iodine-loaded activated carbon can be used to remove certain unwanted chemical components or impurities to ensure the purity and safety of the product.
Medical field: Iodine impregnated activated carbon can be used as a drug adsorbent to help remove harmful substances from the body, especially in the case of acute poisoning or excessive drug intake. Iodine-loaded activated carbon can also be used for wound disinfection and sterilization of medical devices.

Heycarbons Activated Carbon Impregnated with Iodine
Heycarbons Coconut Shell Activated Carbon Impregnated with Iodine
Heycarbons products use high-quality coconut shell granular activated carbon as the base carbon, and are made into iodine-loaded activated carbon through the company’s special air selection and grinding process.
This product is widely used in drinking water purification and sterilization, removing heavy metal elements, harmful organic matter, residual chlorine, etc. in water. At the same time, it has the dual functions of sterilization and adsorption purification, eliminating the sterilization equipment in the activated carbon water treatment system. Extend the working cycle of the activated carbon water treatment system and improve the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon.
Heycarbons Pelletized Activated Carbon Impregnated with Iodine
Pelletized iodine-loaded activated carbon is often used in gas treatment. It usually enhances the adsorption capacity of specific gases, especially organic matter and some harmful gases, by attaching iodine (or iodine-containing compounds) to the surface of columnar activated carbon.
Pelletized iodine-impregnated activated carbon has certain advantages in mercury removal, because iodine can not only enhance the adsorption performance of activated carbon, but also further promote the removal of mercury through chemical oxidation reaction. Therefore, in some applications that need to remove other gaseous pollutants (such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, etc.) at the same time, pelletized iodine-impregnated activated carbon shows a better comprehensive removal effect.
Of course, mercury adsorbents, redox catalysts, etc. can also be used for mercury removal, but columnar iodine-loaded activated carbon is still one of the common mercury removal materials because of its relatively low cost and easy operation.
In addition to elemental iodine I2, we can also impregnate potassium iodide KI on activated carbon.
Heycarbons Iodine Impregnated Activated Carbon Benefits
Improve the adsorption capacity of organic compounds
Iodine impregnation treatment can significantly increase the surface area and adsorption capacity of activated carbon, especially for some small molecular organic compounds (such as volatile organic compounds, VOCs). Therefore, it is particularly outstanding in removing solvents, gases and odors.
Slow release effect
When used in a specific environment, iodine impregnated activated carbon can slowly release iodine, thereby prolonging the disinfection effect.
Extended service life
Compared with ordinary activated carbon, iodine impregnated activated carbon usually has a longer service life in applications where iodine or specific pollutants are treated, so the replacement frequency can be reduced, saving costs in the long run.
