Activated carbon is widely used for pollution control and gas purification in chemical processes. Its high surface area and adsorption capacity make it effective for desulfurization (removing SO₂ from flue gas via adsorption/oxidation), deNOx (reducing nitrogen oxides through catalytic reduction with ammonia), and mercury removal (capturing Hg⁰ and Hg²⁺ via chemisorption, often with sulfur-impregnated carbon). Additionally, it serves as a key material in vapor recovery systems to adsorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants.
 
Beyond adsorption, activated carbon acts as a versatile catalyst support due to its stability and tunable surface chemistry. It facilitates reactions like vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) synthesis from acetylene and HCl, hydrodechlorination, and oxidation processes. Its porous structure promotes reactant access to active sites (e.g., impregnated metals), enhancing reaction efficiency while resisting poisoning in aggressive chemical environments.

Desulfurization Activated Carbon

Due to its high specific surface area, abundant surface functional groups and controllable chemical properties, activated carbon has become an important material in the process of flue gas desulfurization (such as in coal-fired power plants and steel sintering)

DeNOx Activated Carbon

It mainly removes nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) through adsorption, catalysis and synergistic effects. Its porous structure and surface functional groups can directly adsorb NO₂, or catalyze the reaction of NOₓ with reducing agents (such as NH₃) at low temperatures to generate N₂

Mercury Removal Activated Carbon

It mainly works through the synergistic effect of three mechanisms: physical adsorption, chemical adsorption and catalytic oxidation. Its well-developed microporous structure (0.5-2nm) first captures gaseous mercury (Hg⁰) through van der Waals forces

Catalytic Activated Carbon

Catalytic Activated Carbon (CAC) is a porous material that possesses both adsorption function and catalytic activity. It is widely applied in various fields such as environmental treatment (desulfurization, denitrification, VOCs treatment), chemical synthesis (catalytic hydrogenation, oxidation reactions), and energy conversion (fuel cells, energy storage)
