Activated Charcoal has proved to be one of the most promising environmentally sustainable material for air, water, and soil remediation. Recently, activated charcoal has also been explored for its use in several other domains including its medicinal benefits. Its superior performance as an adsorbent for controlling contamination and recovery of important resources has led to the augmentation of its applications across industries around the world. Activated charcoal is used in water treatment plants for the exclusion of organic compounds, color, odour, synthetic chemical compounds and antibiotics from wastewater. It proves to be a futuristic substance in terms of health, resources, economy and environmental sustainability.

This book presented focuses on the feasibility of the use of activated charcoal for catering to several environmental problems, treatment of contaminants in the environment, medical and biomedical industry, including its use in cosmetics. This publication is an attempt to assemble the reported innovative methods adopted using activated charcoal, applications of activated charcoal, along with the available patent studies and research analysis on the material. This book predominantly proposes activated charcoal as a solution to the environmental challenges encountered around the world. This work will help readers understand, appreciate and recognize the wide spectrum utilization of activated charcoal in today’s context. The content of this book will facilitate the development of innovative strategies and future research directions to attain sustainability, with the use of this material. The book will be beneficial to scientists, engineers, chemists and researchers in the academic and industrial fields.
