The Potential of Activated Carbon in the Treatment of Water for Human Consumption, a Study of the State of the Art and Its Techniques Used for Its Development

This review article addresses the use of biological activated carbon in water treatment and its techniques for development, with premise analyzing potential Activated Carbon (AC) human consumption. For this end, it aims to identify used production AC, benefits, from vegetable waste treatment. has ability selectively collect gases, liquids impurities inside pores, which is reason widely filtration systems that water, coal fulfills function adsorbent, retaining pores certain types impurities: large particles cause undesirable color, taste or odor water. In effluents, clarification, deodorization purification effluents.
