Activated carbon is used for the adsorption and recovery of organic solvents from industrial exhaust gases, such as benzene, toluene, acetone, and ethyl acetate.

Boyue coal-based or wood-based pelletized activated carbons, with their high BET surface area (>1000 m²/g) and well-developed micropore/mesopore structure, provide high adsorption capacity, fast adsorption-desorption rates, and long service life for solvent recovery systems.
