Silver

Silver is used as an adsorbent in gas purification due to its high affinity for certain contaminants, particularly sulfur compounds and halogens. In technical applications, silver is often finely dispersed on porous support materials to remove impurities such as H₂S, organic sulfur compounds, or halogen compounds.

One advantage of silver-based adsorbents is their high selectivity and reactivity, enabling the effective removal of even low concentrations of pollutants. Depending on the application and process conditions, these materials can also be designed for regeneration, making them both cost-efficient and sustainable.
