Atmospheric pollutant emissions continue to deteriorate air quality. In fact, air pollution has emerged as one of the major
problems caused by rapid development in industrial activities and substantial population growth. Therefore, in order to achieve a sustainable development for future, air pollution control is a crucial step. Currently, scrubbing gaseous pollutants using the adsorption method is widely applied . Nevertheless, technological development using adsorption processes is also gaining considerable attention. Adsorption using adsorbents such as activated carbon has been studied . Due to the fact that activated carbon provides a suitable pore size for gas adsorption and large surface area for rapid reaction, utilization of activated carbon offers great potential in air pollution control . Most gaseous pollutants have a molecular size in the micro pore region,
i.e.
