Water purification effect：
Activated carbon can remove residual chlorine, colloid, organic matter, heavy metals (such as mercury, silver, cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, etc.), radioactive substances, etc. in water. It is an early and widely used water purification material in water purifiers. Activated carbon forms a large number of fine pores of various shapes during the activation process, which has a strong adsorption effect.
Environmental protection industry：
It is used for sewage treatment, waste gas and harmful gas treatment, and gas purification.
SO2 and NOx emitted during the coal combustion process are the main air pollutants, and the modified activated carbon material has good desulfurization and denitrification treatment effects, low investment and operation costs, and is easy to recycle, which has attracted people’s attention.
Chemical industry：
Chemical catalysts and carriers, gas purification, solvent recovery, and decolorization and refining of oils and fats.
Food industry：
Refining, decolorization, decontamination and purification of beverages, wines, monosodium glutamate mother liquor and food.
Gold industry：
Gold extraction—applicable to carbon slurry method and heap leaching method for gold extraction.
Air purification：
Activated carbon is placed indoors to effectively absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde and xylene contained in the air. (Especially for newly renovated houses, it is the nemesis of formaldehyde and an expert in antivirus.)
