Activated carbon (AC) has been widely used in water treatment because of its rich pore structure, large specific surface area, simple production process, low preparation cost and wide source of raw materials. In this paper, the regeneration efficiency of low-frequency ultrasonic pretreatment (40 kHz, 115.w/cm(3)) on biological activated carbon (BAC) is investigated, and its principle is discussed. The results show that the micro-jet and micro-liquid flow with high temperature and pressure produced by micro-bubble rupture during ultrasonic cavitation play an important role in the regeneration of activated carbon. And optimum ultrasonic treatment time is determined (5 min). In addition, the preparation of cu-loaded activated carbon by ultrasound-microwave method is investigated to pretreat wastewater produced in paracetamol production. The results show that Cu and Cu oxides can be loaded on activated carbon surface by ultrasonic-microwave pretreatment. Finally, the pretreatments of activated carbon by physical, chemical and physical-chemical method are investigated. The effects of the above different pretreatment methods on the structure and adsorption properties of activated carbon are compared and evaluated
