The effect of industrial activated carbons on the environment

Until the 21st century, the application fields of activated carbons have been further expanded. Activated carbon is also involved in many high-tech fields such as environmental protection, energy and catalysts, gas storage, chemical separation, and biological organisms. Among them, the treatment and purification of industrial waste gas by activated carbon, including the removal of formaldehyde gas, is mainly dependent on its gas phase adsorption application, and activated carbon is dependent on it for pharmaceutical and chemical wastewater, precious metal recovery, and the most basic water treatment. The application of liquid phase adsorption is precisely because of the unique characteristics of activated carbon, so it is always indispensable when treating waste gas and wastewater.
Nowadays, the development of activated carbon is becoming more and more diversified, and when dealing with different pollution, scientists have also developed different types of activated carbon to deal with. Targeted development of activated carbon with special adsorption properties has also become a top priority. It is hoped that one day activated carbon can better improve the environment and return the environment to its origin.
