Summary

Activated Carbon Principles explores the critical role of activated carbon in addressing environmental and industrial challenges. This versatile material, vital for water purification and air quality control, works through adsorption, effectively trapping molecular contaminants. The book uniquely bridges theoretical adsorption science with practical applications, enabling readers to tackle real-world problems.

 
Did you know activated carbon's effectiveness is tied to its vast surface area, sometimes reaching the size of several football fields in just a few grams? Also covered are the environmental and industrial applications and how they are related to sustainable development and environmental remediation.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the history and development of activated carbon technology, including raw materials and activation processes. It then moves to the principles of adsorption, covering isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics. Finally, a range of applications are explored, like water treatment and gas separation, using case studies. This approach empowers engineers and environmental professionals to optimize activated carbon-based processes, making it a valuable resource in materials science and chemical engineering.

    Thomas H. Huxley, an English biologist and essayist, was an advocate of the theory of evolution and a self-proclaimed agnostic. A talented writer, his essays helped to popularize science in the 19th century, and he is credited with the quote, "Try to learn something about everything and everything about something." In The Advance of Science in the Last Half Century, he presents a summary of the major developments in Physics, Chemistry and Biology during the period 1839-1889 and their impact on society, within the historical context of philosophical thought and scientific inquiry going back to Aristotle. Huxley’s clear and readable prose makes this subject equally enjoyable for both the student of scientific history and the casual listener alike. (Summary by J. M. Smallheer)
