Abstract
This review highlights the exploration of activated carbon with transformative capabilities of activated carbon but also outlines potential avenues for further research, contributing to the ongoing quest for sustainable and effective adsorption technologies. From traditional precursors like coal and wood to emerging materials such as agricultural residues and waste biomass, we explore the diverse origins of activated carbon. Synthesis methods, structural characteristics, and adsorption mechanisms associated with these sources are systematically examined, providing a comprehensive understanding of the pivotal role played by activated carbon in addressing contemporary environmental challenges.Keywords
