Abstract:

Inorganic activators are key raw materials for the development and production of high performance activated carbon.The inorganic activators commonly used in the development and production of high performance activated carbon were reviewed.The characteristics and reaction mechanism of inorganic activators such as H3PO4,KOH,ZnCl2,CO2,O2 and steam activators were introduced.The design method and application of new composite activators were summarized.It was recommended to speed up the development of new low-cost composite activators.It was also recommended to combine high-performance activated carbon production with phenolic waste treatment to reduce the cost of high-performance activated carbon production and the cost of phenol waste disposal.

Key words: activated carbon, activation method, activator, waste
