Abstract
The method of producing activated carbon from fuel oil includes mixing the fuel oil with an activating chemical at room temperature to produce an activated fuel oil, carbonizing the activated fuel oil to produce activated carbon, and optionally washing the activated carbon produced. The produced activated carbon has high efficiency and it may be activated in a process that requires a comparatively low amount of energy, thus allowing the activated carbon to be regenerated in-situ.
