Hello, is this carbon pellet or granular? and can it be used for air filteration?

Extruded stick. Kinda big, would suggest something else for ventilation filtration.

Yes, and be sure to run water through the filter for a minute to flush out any carbon particles, etc. If this is to be water for drinking, use a recommended drinking water hose instead of a regular garden hose.

Yes it is but not like your carbon experience fears. The ONLY issue is the dust it accumulates and the hand grenade care you must take (take it outside) to keep the dust from "shedding" when you change it. I like the filtering it does and it's obvious!

The filter is mine is tight enough to stay in place. I would suggest getting an inexpensive furnace/air conditioner filter, cut the filter material to form a pre- filter in front of the carbon filter. Make it long enough to loop over the top (and perhaps bottom). I did this but didn't have to loop it around, just taping it in place. In this way the expensive filters will last longer, since large size particles ( > 5 Microns) are caught first.

The carbon appears to be pressed / extruded into tube form and looks much like spaghetti. It is also very hard which might indicate low porosity. It also does not come in the bag that is pictured. There is minimal dusting when rinsed and I believe this is due to its hardness. I use it in my freshwater aquarium and it has been working well. I have proved this by performing full spectrum testing of the water.

Yes this will be more than adequate for that purpose, likely overkill. You may want to look at a P100 particulate filter only, which is rated at 99.97% efficient at 0.3 micron particle/aerosol diameter and is also rated for oil aerosols. The filter you selected is rated to this level and contains additional filtration mechanisms to capture organic vapors and gasses etc...

It is not a foam type product, nor is it like a air filter. It is gravel type carbon. Now if you have a box type filter and it will hold this gravel and pull air through then I see no reason why you couldn't use it.

I have not used mine yet, but the silt filter is 5 micron. the other 2 are charcoal.

It is in pellet form, but activated carbon is porous by definition, otherwise it would not do much of anything.

It's not a powder, but I wouldn't call it pellets, either. One of the respondents likened it to small rice granules. I also would compare it to finely chopped coconut. Anyway, it dissolves quickly and without the dust that a powder creates.

Yes, although we did order a better filter since we are using this for cleaning out our pellet stove. Better filter cleans out the ashes without having to wrap the filter that comes with the vacuum.

There is no mention of carbon in the materials enclosed with the product. And it is a "HEPA-type" filter. Here is the number for customer care 800.875-8577. They should be able to tell you.

This carbon is extruded (cylindrical). Average piece is 3/4 inch long by 1/8 inch in diameter. I use this carbon in my Ocean Clear chemical canister for fresh water tropical fish. I have used this filter system for over 20 years and this is the best carbon I have found for the money. It has a large surface area and keeps the water flowing for a long time. I used to use the standard carbon and it would plug with debris quicker causing the need to change the carbon much more often. This is the best canister carbon there is for the money bar none!

It just filters dust as I live in the country and was trying to keep control of house cleaning time. It has helped a lot with my problem. I have to clean the carbon filter regularly, but the hepa has lasted very well.

Carbon and other suck media. It is used to support the disposable. It is used after the disposable to filter chemically. There is white carbon also not sure what it is called and it filters ammonia and other chefs out of the water.

In my opinion yes. The filter is solid carbon. I can't image any other filter at this price that can outperform it.

Its an active carbon filter. Whatever active charcoal can filter, this will filter as well. I don't think fluoride binds to active charcoal.
