Study on Application of Activated Carbon in Water Treatment

Abstract

Activated carbon is a good non-polar adsorbent. Because of its huge specific surface area and micropore, good adsorption performance and recycling, it can be used together with a variety of substances to adsorb various properties of wastewater. This paper mainly introduces the structure, adsorption mechanism, modified activated carbon, microbial bound activated carbon, microwave bound activated carbon and the future research direction of activated carbon.
