The influence of the carbonization process on the finished product of activated carbon is multifaceted, and these effects run through the preparation process of activated carbon and the performance of the final product.The following is a detailed analysis of this process：

1. The impact of raw material preparation: The first step in the carbonization process is to select suitable raw materials. The quality of raw materials directly affects the subsequent processing and the quality of finished products.Different raw materials will give activated carbon different physical and chemical properties.

2. Influence of carbonization temperature and time: During the carbonization process, the choice of temperature and time has a significant impact on the pore structure and specific surface area of activated carbon.High temperature and long-term carbonization help to fully remove volatile substances from the raw materials and form a rich pore structure.Conversely, a lower temperature or a shorter time may lead to incomplete carbonization and affect the adsorption performance of activated carbon.

3. Influence of atmosphere control: The atmosphere (such as nitrogen, air, or other gases) in the carbonization process will also affect the performance of activated carbon.Under the appropriate oxidizing atmosphere, the porosity and specific surface area of activated carbon can be further improved.In a reducing atmosphere, the surface chemical properties of activated carbon may change, affecting its ability to adsorb specific substances.

4. The impact of subsequent treatment: The carbonized activated carbon usually needs to be pickled, washed with water, etc. to remove impurities and adjust its pore structure.These treatment processes have a direct impact on the properties of activated carbon such as pH value, conductivity and moisture content.

5. Impact of product performance: After the above process, the finished product of activated carbon will have excellent adsorption properties, high specific surface area and good mechanical strength.In addition, its shape, particle size, surface functional groups, etc. will also affect its performance in practical applications.

6. Impact of application areas: Different carbonization processes and subsequent treatments can produce activated carbon suitable for different fields, such as water treatment, air purification, gold extraction, etc.The performance requirements of activated carbon in these fields are different, so the choice of carbonization process is essential.

In general, the influence of the carbonization process on the finished activated carbon products is multifaceted, covering all aspects such as raw material selection, processing process, product performance and application fields.Optimizing the carbonization process is one of the key ways to improve the performance and quality of activated carbon.
