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 [36–71]. Nevertheless,
technological development using adsorption processes is also
gaining considerable attention. Adsorption using adsorbents such
as activated carbon has been studied [36–71]. 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 [36–71]. Most
gaseous pollutants have a molecular size in the micropore region,
i.e.
