With the five types of Datong weak viscous coal as main coal respectively, the Shandong gas-fat coal was used as auxiliary coal, through adding adhesive, the activated carbon samples were prepared by cylindrical shape. Meanwhile, the moisture content, intensity, apparent density, pH value, water absorption and saturated sulphur capacity of the samples were tested. The results show that the samples meet the requirements of coal based granular activated carbon for desulfurization in GB/T 7701.1-2008 can be prepared in this experiment, among them, the saturated sulphur capacity of the samples CDGb2# and HDa1# reach 950 mg/g and 1000 mg/g respectively, and the samples have strong performance for removing hydrogen sulfide.
