The impregnation of sulfur on activated carbon followed by the adsorption of Hg<sup>0</sup> vapors was computationally investigated using DFT simulations. Sulfur adsorption was investigated on activated carbon with armchair edge, zigzag edge, and graphene surface. Sulfur adsorption was investigated on activated carbon with edge functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxylic acid. Activated carbon with edge functional groups such as sulfonic acid, sulfenic acid, and sulfinic acid was further investigated for the adsorption of Hg<sup>0</sup> vapors. Among the edge functional groups on the activated carbon, the hydroxyl group was most favored for sulfur adsorption and, subsequently, Hg<sup>0</sup> vapors. This was quantified in terms of shortest bond lengths, strongest binding energies, and maximum charge transfer. Among the sulfur-containing functional groups on activated carbon, sulfenic acid was the most favored for the adsorption of Hg<sup>0</sup> vapors.
