Activated Carbon: Synthesis, Analysis, and Industrial Applications explores the fundamentals of activated carbon production and characterization, modification techniques and applications of machine learning in the field of activated carbon synthesis and applications. The book is divided into three parts to enable readers and researchers of all levels easy access to the information herein. Part 1 is on Synthesis methods and characterization techniques. The next six chapters on part 2 focus on diverse industrial applications of activated carbon. The last section is on machine learning applications as well as research progress in activated carbon synthesis, modification, and diverse applications.
Written for researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, academics, and industry professionals in the fields of sustainable environmental science and chemical engineering, this book will be a welcomed reference for those who wish to better understand the role of activated carbon in solving sustainability challenges in the world related to energy shortage, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental issues.
