RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik

Granules and sorbents form the core of modern filtration and purification technologies in laboratory and industrial applications. These specialized adsorption materials enable the selective removal of unwanted substances from gases and liquids through physical or chemical binding at the surface.

Diverse Sorbents for Different Applications

The product spectrum includes various material classes with specific properties:

• Adsorber filter containers for gas purification - Complete systems for continuous processes
• Activated carbon granule sorbent - mercury fine purification - Specifically for heavy metal removal
• Activated carbon granule sorbent based on coconut - Sustainable alternative with high porosity
• Blue gel granule sorbent - Poly-silica gel with exceptional water absorption capacity
• Calcium/sodium hydroxide sorbent - Basic granules for acid gas removal
• Potassium permanganate carrier sorbents - Oxidizing agents for fine purification of inert gases
• Molecular sieve sorbents 10 Å - For water and CO₂ removal from gases
• Molecular sieve sorbents 4 Å - For drying air, inert gases and organic solvents
• RCT® accessories: Filter pad - Complementary filtration aids

Technical Properties and Application Areas

Activated carbon granules based on bitumen with sulfur impregnation offer maximum specific surface areas through their high proportion of micropores. Temperature resistance up to +70 °C enables use under various process conditions. Molecular sieves with defined pore widths of 4 Å or 10 Å ensure selective adsorption based on molecular size.

Blue gel granules made from porous poly-silica gel are characterized by excellent adsorption properties for gas drying. Potassium permanganate sorbents utilize their high oxidation potential for oxidizing organic compounds, while calcium/sodium hydroxide sorbents neutralize acidic gas components through salt formation due to their basic properties.

Quality Assurance and Process Optimization

The selection of suitable sorbents is based on target substance, process conditions and desired selectivity. Regenerable materials such as molecular sieves enable economical long-term applications, while single-use sorbents offer optimal safety for critical purification steps.
