Activated carbon derived from lignocellulosic biomass is
widely used for pollutant removal. Various industrial sectors use
lignocellulosic activated carbon in operations such as chemical
processes, petroleum refining, wastewater treatment, air pollution
treatment and volatile organic compounds (VOC) adsorption
[1–5,38]. In addition, activated carbon provides an effective
mean for gas phase applications, such as for separation,
deodorization, purification, storage and catalysis [39]. Activated
carbon is awell-known adsorbent due to its unique and versatile
properties that allow the accessible of gas/liquid into internal
pore surface and high degree of surface reactivity [40]. The
important properties of activated carbon are that it is comprised
of high surface area, developed microporous structure and
favorable pore size.
