The use of activated carbon (AC) as an adsorbent dates back to the 18th century when charcoal was first employed to adsorb gases in 1773. Later in 1785, charcoal was applied in a liquid phase for ...

Abstract Biomass is a green energy source and is available in abundance. Biochar is a carbon-rich material derived from a wide range of biomass or organic waste through the thermochemical route. Biochar has received increasing attention because of its distinctive properties such as high carbon content, greater specific surface area, cation …

The production process of activated carbon typically involves four steps: carbonization, activation, washing and drying, and sizing and packaging. In the carbonization step, the raw material is heated in the absence of oxygen to drive off volatile components and leave …

To tackle the pressing problems in sustainable production, the activated carbon derived from renewable sources have been reported with a heterogeneous catalytic system in biorefinery [128], [136], [137]. A traditional linear approach to production and consumption (take, make, dispose of a syndrome) is unsustainable.
