Abstract
An adsorbent body having a porous structure for purifying a fluid, wherein the porous structure comprises activated carbon, and an inorganic binder for bonding together grains of the activated carbon. The porous structure optionally comprises activated alumina. The adsorbent body is produced by: preparing a raw material composition including a source material which gives activated carbon, aluminum hydroxide which gives activated alumina (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3), and an inorganic binder for bonding together grains of the activated carbon and the activated alumina; forming an unfired shaped body of the raw material composition; and firing the unfired shaped body at a predetermined sintering temperature to produce the adsorbent body.
