Synthesis and characterization of chemically treated activated carbons for adsorption of trace contaminants

One of the undesirable features of the modern day world is widespread contamination associated with the release of a large number of chemicals into the environment. In recent years there has been a tremendous amount of work done to quantify the harmful effect of these trace contaminants. Society's growing concern has led many governments to establish stricter standards for clean air and water, many of them in the ppb range. This necessitates the development of greatly improved methods for controlling the release of toxic contaminants and on designing new materials tailored to selectively remove a wide range of contaminants and permit for recovery and reuse. One technology which is extremely attractive for this purpose is the use of dry adsorbents such as activated carbons.
