Abstract

The name activated carbon is given to carbonaceous materials with large adsorption capacity manufactured from a large number of materials such as coconut shells, wood, peat, and coal. X-ray analysis of activated carbons shows a structure which is much more disordered than that of graphite, having crystallites only a few layers in thickness and less than 10 nm in width. The spaces between the crystallites of activated carbon constitute the microporous structure with a large internal surface to which it owes its remarkable adsorption properties. The structure of activated carbon is dealt with in more detail in another chapter.
