Chemical Catalysis
As a versatile catalytic material in the chemical and petrochemical industries, activated carbon features a tunable surface chemistry and excellent thermal stability. Thanks to its dual ability to disperse active metals and to adsorb reactants, it serves as both catalyst and catalyst support in numerous high-temperature processes.
Solvent Recovery
In chemical and petrochemical production, solvents are used extensively-benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, alcohols and other organics serve in extraction, reaction, washing and many other unit operations. After use, however, these solvents are often discharged as waste gas, wasting valuable resources and posing risks to both the environment and human health. Solvent recovery has therefore become a critical step toward sustainable development in the chemical industry, and activated-carbon adsorption, valued for its high efficiency, economy and environmental friendliness, plays a key role.
