Abstract
Polymer‐based spherical activated carbon (PBSAC), produced by means of carbonization and subsequent activation of a polymeric precursor in a batch process represent adsorbents with adjustable pore size distribution and adsorption characteristics. This flexibility results from batch operation and from the possibility to combine different activation media, therefore controlling the mechanisms of pore generation. The geometry and the mechanical properties of PBSAC allow for structuring of filter media e.g., for adsorbent enlargement or fixation. Other intrinsic product properties such as roundness, high crush strength and high abrasion resistance of PBSAC offer advantages in various adsorption applications.Keywords
