The raw materials for activated carbon are carbonaceous matters, such as wood, peat, coals, petroleum coke, bones, coconut shells, and fruit nuts. Anthracite and bituminous coals have been the major sources. Starting with the initial pores present in the raw material, more pores, with desired size distributions, are created by the so-called activation process. After initial treatment and pelletizing, one activation process involves carbonization at...
