“…The term 'activated carbon' is used for carbon-containing materials with a high micropores volume, favorable pore size distribution, extensive surface area (600-4300 m 2 g −1 ) [85,104] and high adsorption capacity [83,85,98,105,106]. Almost any carbonaceous material can be used to produce activated carbon, such as coconut shells, lignite, wood, sawdust, coal, and peat [98,103,105,107,108], but its properties are influenced by the raw material and the activation method [85]. Activated carbons are generally very-broad-spectrum adsorbents [86] and their low price makes them favorable [83].…”
