Abstract
A process for producing functionalized activated carbon product includes creating grafting sites on a surface of an activated carbon product, to yield a precursor activated carbon product; exposing the precursor activated carbon product to at least a first vinyl monomer; and initiating a polymerization reaction to graft at least the first vinyl monomer to the grafting sites and polymerize the first vinyl monomer to yield the functionalized activated carbon product. A functionalized activated carbon product includes an activated carbon product having a surface and at least a first polymer grafted to the surface. A process for removing contaminants from water includes adding a functionalized activated carbon product to contaminated water, wherein the functionalized activated carbon product includes an activated carbon product having a surface and at least a first polymer grafted to the surface; and allowing the functionalized activated carbon product to adsorb contaminants from the contaminated water.
