The present invention relates to activated carbon sorbents including nitrogen. In various embodiments, the present invention provides an activated carbon sorbent including a halogen- or halide-promoted activated carbon, the activated carbon sorbent particles including nitrogen in a surface layer of the sorbent particles. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of reducing the pollutant content in a pollutant-containing gas using the activated carbon sorbent. In various embodiments, the activated carbon sorbent can remove mercury from a mercury-containing gas that includes sulfur(VI) such as SOmore efficiently than other sorbents. 1. A method of removing mercury from a mercury-containing flue gas , the method comprising:{'sub': 2', '2', '2', '4', '4', '4', '2, 'sup': −', '−', '−', '−, 'combusting coal comprising an added promoter precursor that comprises NaBr, CaBr, NaCl, CaCl, KI, NaI, CaI, NHBr, NHCl, NHF, NaF, CaF, or a combination thereof, to form the mercury-containing flue gas comprising a halogen- or halide-promoter that comprises Cl, HCl, Br, HBr, I, HI, F, HF, or a combination thereof;'}adding a nitrogen-containing compound and activated carbon sorbent particles together or separately into the mercury-containing flue gas upstream of a particle separation device, the nitrogen-containing compound comprising an ammonium salt, ammonia, urea, an inorganic nitrogen compound, or a combination thereof;capturing mercury from the mercury-containing gas with the activated carbon sorbent particles; andremoving the activated carbon sorbent particles from the mercury-containing gas with the particle separation device.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the promoter comprises Br claim 1 , Cl claim 1 , I claim 1 , F claim 1 , ICl claim 1 , or a combination thereof.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the promoter precursor comprises KI claim 1 , NaI claim 1 , CaI claim 1 , or a combination thereof claim 1 , and the promoter comprises I claim 1 , HI ...
