Abstract

This paper contains a review on agricultural waste materials as promising precursors for development of activated carbon. The phenomenon behind higher adsorptive capacity of activated carbon or activated charcoal also known as solid sponge was mentioned. The composition and structure of activated carbon were also discussed. The agricultural waste materials availability, renewability, pollution control and economic benefit for activated carbon development were presented. The review also explained Steps involved in the development of activated carbon, Characterization and Properties of activated carbon as well as Applications of activated carbon and Contactors used.
