Activated carbon, which is a type\nof carbon, is known to contain an extensive variety of materials, which do not\nhave a specific form. These are known as amorphous materials and the activated\ncarbon is made to show a high level of porosity as well as an extensive surface\narea. Moreover, the entire non-carbon contaminations are eliminated and the\nsurface is oxidized. Nowadays, even though the term \u2018activated carbon is accepted,\nit has been in use since the ancient era. Accordingly, ancient Phoenicians and Hindus\ndiscovered the curative characteristics of activated carbon around 400 B.C. and\nstarted using it to clean the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historical Evaluation of Activated Carbon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activated\ncarbon<\/a> has seen many advances during recent years, but it has a short\nhistory. It has been actively used since ancient times during the era of the\nSumerians and Egyptians in 3750 BC. These civilizations used charcoal for different\nreasons, including in the manufacture of bronze for lessening of ores,\nmedicinal applications, and domestic smokeless fuel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1550 BC Egyptian papyri is\nthe first resource that cited the use of charcoal for adsorption of the odorous\nvapors from the intestinal tract and putrefying wounds. The charcoal was used\nby the ancient Greeks to alleviate food poisoning symptoms. This is for the\nreason that charcoal is considered the most effective substance for the\nadsorption of the pollutants discharged by ingested bacteria, thus reducing\ntheir poisonous effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Latest Advance of Activated Carbon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, activated carbon has\nbeen used in a variety of applications in several areas. However, it is largely\nused in the ecological field. Apart from ecological contamination control, activated\ncarbon is largely employed in the industry in various gas and liquid phase\nadsorptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the liquid phase applications,\nactivated carbon is used in many ways, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
