“…Activated carbons are very effective, universal and, at the same time, relatively cheap adsorbents, which is why they are commonly used for the removal of various organic and inorganic pollutants, both from the gas and liquid phase. In the literature on the subject, there are numerous reports on their application for the adsorption of such pollutants as: toxic inorganic gases (for example, NH 3 , NO 2 , H 2 S, SO 2 , CO 2 ) [ 3 , 4 ], volatile organic compounds (VOCs) [ 5 ], heavy metal ions [ 6 , 7 ], phenol and its derivatives [ 8 ], organic dyes [ 9 , 10 ], pharmaceuticals [ 11 ], surfactants [ 12 ], polymers [ 13 ], etc. Furthermore, activated carbons are increasingly used as catalysts or catalyst support [ 14 ], as electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors and lithium-ion batteries [ 15 ], as well as materials for gas storage [ 16 ].…”
