The invention provides a low-
alkali activated preparation method and application of
pitch-based
activated carbon. The method comprises the steps that
pitch is taken as the raw materials and sequentially processed through coking, mixing with
solid alkali, pre-activating, activating, cleaning and the like, and the
pitch-based
activated carbon is prepared. According to the preparation method, green
coke and the alkali are mixed evenly through pre-activating treatment, and on one hand, contact of the green
coke and the alkali is enlarged, so that the preparation method has the advantages that at least three eighths of the alkali using amount is saved compared with the prior art, the service life of an activating oven is prolonged, the
discharge quantity and treatment difficulty of cleaning
effluent are reduced, and the advantages of
energy conservation and environment protection are achieved; on the other hand, the quality homogeneity of the
activated carbon can be improved, and property difference among the products of different batches can be avoided; in addition, activating treatment is performed on pre-activating products by quickly increasing the temperature,
corrosion of the strong alkali on equipment at high temperature for a long time is reduced, the number of functional groups on the surface of the activated carbon can be reasonable, and improvement of the electric
conductivity of the products is facilitated.
